ExplanationThe federal CSP Grant is monitored on a constant basis, with reimbursement requests for actual expenses being submitted to the Federal government frequently. Sub-grantee receives approval from DPPS Finance Dept. prior to the procurement of any item that may be related to the CSP grant. Throughout the Procurement and A/P processes, grant tagging is applied to the relevant items on the order to ensure all applicable expenses are captured and submitted for reimbursement. The other grants, which are for the purposes of general funding, are not monitored as there are no restrictions on what the funds can be used for in relation to school expenses.ExplanationTxt
