School Administrators:
Our District was awarded suicide prevention funds through a USBE Grant for the 2019-20 school year.
Each secondary school was awarded $1,000 for suicide prevention and each elementary school was awarded $500. Schools that requested funds in the beginning of the school year will be reimbursed in the amount requested if it was in excess of these amounts. Please read the reimbursement instructions.
Suicide Prevention Grant Reimbursement Instructions:
- Schools should spend the money out of their school budget (including reimbursing teachers or counselors) prior to seeking reimbursement from the District. Each school will then seek reimbursement from Carmen Corvarrubias (carmen.covarrubias@jordandistrict.org, ext: 88183), with copies of all NPO's, Purchase Orders, P-Card summaries, check copies, and receipts (anything that validates the expenditures(s)).
- Carmen will reimburse each school's qualified expenses so long as the money is spent and reimbursement documents are sent by 4/3/2020.
- Prior to seeking reimbursement, ensure that expenditures meet the grant funding criteria:
- "Funding is to be used for educational curricula and/or professional development for staff that enhance understanding of suicide prevention. It may not be used for food, drinks, gift cards, or incentives."
- If you have questions about what may or may not qualify for funding, please contact McKinley Withers (mckinley.withers@jordandistrict.org, ext: 88245) PRIOR to seeking reimbursement.
