Please be sure to provide School Community Councils periodic information about their School LAND Trust budget so they may make determinations on using plan amendments to avoid excessive carryover, which is unallowable for the program. Use the video below as a resource to learn how principals complete the amendment form on the School LAND Trust Website.
Remember that an amendment goes through the same process as a plan and requires Board, District, and USBE approval prior to funds being used for the changes.
When adding an amendment please put down in the comments at the bottom the changes that you made. This makes it easier for those approving the amendment to know what is different and allows for an easier approval process.
Sample Amendment Comment:
Amendment Comment: I met with my SCC on October 10th and we voted on this new amendment. We did not remove any action plans; we just adjusted some estimated cost. I didn't hire as many periods, so teacher budgets changed. I have another grant for my academic tracker. We looked at cost from last year's credit recovery and readjusted. We purchased a different software that cost a lot less. I then was able to add PD, subs for PLC, technology, and travel.
