Perkins State Leadership Funds

State leadership funds are used by the state to provide statewide leadership activities required by Perkins IV. In some cases state leadership funds may be awarded to local recipients for specific programs that meet a statewide initiative or offer some other benefit to the system. The federal application form should be used to apply for state leadership funds, usually in response to specific requests for proposals issued by the state.

REPORTING FORMS
Perkins IV Accountability Reports
Both the Utah State Legislature and the United States Government have placed increasing emphasis on accountability; therefore, several reports have been developed to obtain information.

Request for Reimbursement and Accountability Report Part A are forms established to flow federal funds to recipients. Approved federal funds do not flow automatically to recipients as do state funds. The federal flow of funding is based strictly on a reimbursement of actual costs. Reimbursement requests may be made as often as necessary and requests will only be considered once each month. The approved grant award budget should be reflected in the "Budget Approved by USOE" column and the actual expenses should be in the "Expense 1st Period" column. If there is a 10% or greater change, the "Budget Change" column should be filled in. An Accountability Report (Part A) must accompany the final request for funds. Final funds will not be allocated without an accurate Accountability Report (Part A) and request. Requests and reports will be returned to the applicant showing areas of deficiencies. Part A reports are required of all federally-funded (Perkins) projects. Only one Part A is required for each grant award regardless of the number of different activities within the approved project.

Note that Perkins funds must be requested during the period of availability for those funds.

Personal Activity Report
Any employee whose salary is split using any portion of federal Perkins funds must sign a Personal Activity Report annually.
