The ¸Û°Äͼ¿â  Grant Management Office provides guidance and support to district teachers, staff members, departments, and schools in securing grant resources that support the ¸Û°Äͼ¿â Strategic Plan. Our goal is to actively seek supplemental funding and ensure that each grant proposal submitted on behalf of a school or the district is accurate and of the highest quality possible and to provide compliance assistance once a grant is awarded.
