We see that the project is proposed to be funded for FY 2019. We have concerns about being able to implement the project within the current 2019-2020 school year. If our application is selected, is it permissible to utilize funding for the 2020-2021 school year?
Yes, it is permissible for the first full year of implementation to be the 2020-21 school year. However, the latest start date that is allowed for this project would be 1/1/2020. It would be expected that onboarding, need-sensing, recruitment, and/or installation would occur during the second half of the 2019-20 school year (i.e. January 2020 – June 2020).
