Grants Management Guide

2016-2017

The development of this guide is the product of a revision of the OPSB’s High Risk Transition Plan; and alignment of the district’s internal controls and procedures with both the uniform grant guidance and recently revised OPSB policies. The 2016-2017 OPSB Grants Management Guide provides School leadership teams and central office staff tools to properly administer their grant funded programs throughout the grant cycle: Pre-award, Award, and Closeout. It provides procedures in which applicable staff will be held accountable throughout the planning, application, pre-implementation, implementation, and closeout phases of state, federal and private grants for which OPSB acts as the fiscal agent.

Additionally, the Grant Management Guide includes grant specific information and other resources that will be valuable to school and central office staff. The Federal Programs & External Grants team will update the guide as needed and/or required. Please refer to the OPSB’s website for the most up to date information.
