Vision

The Office of Grants Development and Compliance is the central coordinating office for all major grant-seeking activities in the District, and we provide expert grant-writing services to all District offices and schools, particularly in pursuit of government grants awarded on a competitive basis.  By helping offices and schools to win and successfully implement such grants, we hope to maximize the resources available to carry out the District’s initiatives and to meet the needs of students and families.

Mission

Our mission is to obtain the external funding and resources needed to carry out the School District's targeted goals and priorities. The staff is responsible for developing and helping schools and administrative offices to develop and submit competitive grant proposals over $20,000 to government agencies, for working with the Office of Strategic Partnerships on proposals to foundations and other funding sources, and for preparing entitlement grant applications.
