15. GRANT FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 2018 - IDEA SECURE CARE Approve the application and acceptance of grant funds from Arizona Department of Education (ADE) 2018 IDEA Secure Care Grant, (CFDA 84-027), in the not-to-exceed amount of $75,000 for the purpose of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Jail Education Program. The grant award begins on October 1, 2017 and ends on 6/30/2018. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to these grant funds, as applicable. The grant allows a 12% rate for indirect costs, or $8,035.71 which may be incurred by the Sheriff's Office or Maricopa County for the administration of this grant. The Maricopa County Department of Finance has calculated the Sheriff's Office's composite indirect cost rate at 19.9%, or $13,325.89. The recoverable indirect cost of administering this grant is $8,035.71; the non-recoverable indirect cost is $5,290.18. 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. This budget adjustment does not alter the budget constraining the expenditure of local revenues duly adopted by the Board pursuant to A.R.S. §42-17105. 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 contract with Special Education Consultants to work with staff and students in implementing and carrying out the IDEA Laws and Regulations. The Sheriff's Office has participated in the IDEA Secure Care Program for several years. (C-50-18-058-G-00)
