17. ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR 2015 IDEA SECURE CARE GRANT Approve the acceptance of $22,333.83 in continued grant funding from the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), 2015 IDEA Secure Care Grant for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Jail Education Program. The term of this award is through September 30, 2015. 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. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY2015 is 15.7% ($2,787.31). Unrecoverable indirect costs associated with this funding are estimated to be $1,367.02. The recoverable indirect cost is estimated to be $1,420.28; there is a cap of 8% on operating costs. ADE considers any equipment being purchased as capital outlay and doesn’t allow indirect cost recovery. These funds will ensure Maricopa County Jail Education Programs are in compliance with state and federal special education requirements. These funds will be used to purchase items that will be used in the smaller classrooms along with transitional instructional supplies for student use and training for staff. The Sheriff's Office has participated in the County Jails Education Program for approximately eleven years. (C-50-15-087-G-00)
