14. APPLY AND ACCEPT THE 2020 TITLE III CONSORTIUM GRANT Approve the application for and acceptance of $120,555.67 for the Title III Consortium grant from the Arizona Department of Education (ADE). This grant is a federal entitlement grant that provides funds for the support of students who are learning the English language. These funds also support instructors who teach classes for students who are learning the English language. The term of this grant is for one year, July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant award is reoccurring and has been awarded to the department in previous years. The cash or in-kind match is not applicable. MCSS’s indirect rate for FY 2020 is 10.7 percent. The indirect cost rate allowed by this grant source is .67 percent. Total indirect costs on this award are $0 as all the monies are a pass through to the consortium members. Ongoing cash contributions not applicable. MCSS serves as the fiscal agent for this consortium as the districts, by federal law, must have a consortium when their allocation is less than $10,000. The grant award is non-competitive and an entitlement grant from the federal government. There are no costs that will need to be absorbed by the department’s operating budget. 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. (C-37-20-016-G-00)
