Title 20-A - §17101. Intent
Title 20-A: EDUCATION
Part 7: SCHOOL FINANCE
Chapter 612: INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL GRANTS
§17101. Intent
The intent of this chapter is to promote creative improvement in the schools of the State. The Commissioner of Education
shall promote innovative projects by means of grants to teachers, school administrative units, private schools approved for
tuition purposes or groups of school administrative units formed for the purpose of providing improved educational opportunity
through the sharing of resources among the member units. A group of school administrative units seeking a grant in accordance
with this chapter shall provide written verification to the commissioner that each school administrative unit comprising the
group has agreed to the grant criteria established by the department. The group shall designate one school administrative
unit to act as fiscal agent for the group. To promote the greatest possible benefits statewide, a school administrative unit
is limited to one grant at a time, whether the grant is received separately or as part of a group. It is not the intent of
this chapter to provide funds for programs or services normally provided by those school systems. Project dissemination will
be accomplished through the department through instructional support group staff. The use of state, regional and national
diffusion networks will be encouraged.

Title 20-A - §17103. School-based innovative projects
Title 20-A: EDUCATION
Part 7: SCHOOL FINANCE
Chapter 612: INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL GRANTS
§17103. School-based innovative projects
1. Objectives. Innovative project matching grants may be awarded to local school administrative units for projects that promote improvement
on a school-wide basis. Allowable costs for school-based innovative grant projects are the excess cost of implementing approved
projects. Allowable costs in all eligible years must be funded through a grant made on the same matching basis as the division
of state and local shares in a school administrative unit's state and local allocation in the year prior to the year of allocation
with the minimum state share being 50%. Each project must include a plan to more effectively meet the learning needs and
improve the academic performance of all students through:
A. The development of comprehensive goals prescribing what all students should know, the skills they should possess and the
attitudes they should hold upon completing school; and
[1991, c. 290 (rpr).]
B. A commitment to revise the basic school structure to achieve the comprehensive goals.
[1991, c. 290 (rpr).]
[1991, c. 290 (rpr).]
2. Competitive awards. Matching grants must be awarded on a competitive basis to local school administrative units. Priority must be given to
proposals that the commissioner determines are most likely to make a lasting contribution to education in the State, that
are reasonably cost-effective and that can be replicated elsewhere. The commissioner shall identify additional priority areas
using information from basic school approval, accreditation and statewide student assessment programs. In exceptional circumstances,
the commissioner may waive the local-state matching fund requirement.
A. Local school administrative units may be awarded matching grants up to $30,000.
[1991, c. 290 (rpr).]
B. Local school administrative units are eligible for up to 5 years of continuing funding.
[1991, c. 290 (rpr).]
C. Awards in subsequent years may be made for projects identified by the commissioner as having exceptional merit.
[1991, c. 290 (rpr).]
