103. GRANT FUNDING FROM AZ SUPREME COURT FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT TO REDUCE JUVENILE CRIME Accept grant funding from the Arizona Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts (Agreement No. 2026-12) in the amount of $50,000 for fiscal year 2026; and authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant’s purpose is to reduce juvenile crime by funding the Maricopa County Youth Career and Education Pathways Program (YCEPP) and will help support the Superintendent’s mandate in A.R.S. §15-913.01 to offer an education program to serve all school-age children in its juvenile detention center. The grant funding is subject to annual legislative appropriation to the AZ Supreme Court and application to and award by the AZ Supreme Court. The grant agreement does not allow funds to be used for indirect costs; therefore, non-recoverable indirect costs of $505 will be absorbed by the Superintendent’s operating budget. There is not a matching requirement, and future ongoing cash contributions are not required after the grant period. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditure of the funds is not prohibited by the budget law. Accepting this grant does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. (C-37-26-008-X-00)
