Federal regulations require local educational agencies (LEAs), which includes Independent School Districts and Open-Enrollment Charter Schools, to maintain effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets and assure they are used solely for authorized purposes. In addition, LEAs must have written procedures for determining the allowability of costs in accordance with Federal Cost Principles and the terms and conditions of the federal award.
Learning Objectives of this workshop:
- Understand the Cost Principles applicable to all federal awards
- Review the Special Education Consolidated Grant Application Program Guidelines
- Collaborate with participants on best practices for determining the allowability of costs
Lunch (1 1/2 hours) on your own.
