45. ACCEPTANCE OF ENTITLEMENT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR THE 2025 COUNTY JAILS EDUCATION PROGRAM Approve acceptance of $75,427.96 in continued funding from the Arizona Department of Education, 2025 County Jails Education Program for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Jail Education Program. This funding is recurring and has been awarded to the department for over twenty years. A cash or in-kind match is not applicable. There is no future or ongoing contribution required following termination of the grant period. The Sheriff’s indirect cost rate for FY26 is 27.66% for a total indirect cost of $20,863.37, of which zero is recoverable. This funding is for a mandated function and provides supplies and services used for the Sheriff’s Office Jail Education Program that is mandated for all prisoners who are 21 years of age or younger, who do not have a high school diploma or a general equivalency diploma and who are confined in the County jail. The funding is legislative, formulaic and is non-competitive. 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.
