13. APPLY AND ACCEPT TITLE I - DELINQUENT LEA GRANT Approve the application for and acceptance of the Title I - Delinquent – LEA from the Arizona Department of Education in the amount of $156,481.95. The purpose of this grant is to provide prevention and intervention programs for children and youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at-risk. The Grant period is from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. MCESA’s indirect rate for 2020 is 10.7%. MCESA's approved indirect cost rate for this grant is 0.67%. The estimated unallowable indirect costs are $16,632.13. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. This action does not alter the budget constraining the expenditures of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. The grant award is reoccurring although we haven’t accepted it for the past few years. The department has no in-kind match requirement during the grant award period. The grant award does not require ongoing cash contributions. The grant award is for a mandated function as it goes to the jail school education for 16 to 18 year old's already in county jail. This award is non-competitive and the grant award is a federal entitlement grant award. If awarded, there are no dollars that will need to be absorbed by the department operating budget. This award is in addition to the current budget provided. (C-37-20-015-G-00)
