§ 10609 Federal Education Funding Acceptance

This law lets the department take money from the federal government or other sources to pay for things covered by this article, and it lets schools and county education offices give the department money or other resources they have set aside in their budgets for planning, developing, or coordinating those things.

Key Takeaways

  • •The department may accept federal or other money to fund activities in this article.
  • •School districts and county education offices can give the department money or resources they have budgeted.
  • •The money is meant for planning, developing, or coordinating the activities covered by this article.

Example

A school district puts $15,000 in its yearly budget to help the department plan a new science‑fair program, and the department also receives a federal grant of $20,000 for the same program.

Because the law says schools can assign budget money to the department and the department can accept federal funds, the district’s $15,000 and the federal grant can both be used to plan and run the science‑fair program.
