GRANTS APPROVAL PROCESS


Grants Clearinghouse Committee (GCC)

The Grants Clearinghouse Committee (GCC) reviews and approves requests to develop competitive and private grants of $10,000 or greater. This internal approval process enables the GCC to track grants across the district and to ensure that projects are aligned with the mission and goals of the School District. Prior to grant development, schools and departments must follow the district’s procedures to obtain approval from the GCC.

Review of GCC Procedures:

  1. Complete all fields in liquid office form PBSD 2339 Grant Information Form
  2. Follow the form’s routing functions to forward the completed form to your supervisors for review and electronic signature
  3. The area/assistant superintendent will route the form to GCC
  4. The GCC will review the form and contact you for additional information as needed
  5. Await approval or recommendations from the GCC
  6. If your grant request is approved, proceed with grant development and submission
  7. If awarded the grant, follow procedures to place the item on the School Board agenda
