Grant Administration

All non-profit organizations that receive grants or have cooperative agreements with the U.S. Department of Education are subject to regulations that guide their fiscal and programmatic practices. These regulations are called EDGAR (Education Department General Administrative Regulations) and are found in volume 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The McKinney-Vento ARRA Guidance references EDGAR (34 C.F.R. 76.707) for a chart indicating when an obligation occurs for various types of activities.

This document from the U.S. Department of Education includes framing questions for decision-making on how to use ARRA funds and examples of potential uses of funds to improve educational outcomes for students. It is intended to spark ideas about how school districts and schools might use ARRA funds, particularly funds available under the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund; Title I; and IDEA, Part B programs. While many districts may need to use a portion of their ARRA funds to preserve jobs, every district and school should be considering how to use these funds to improve student outcomes and to advance reforms that will have a long-term impact.
