Where the dollars come from
•
•
School Age Community (SAC) dollars come from the
Child Care Development Block Grant to the
Department of Social Services (DSS), then to DESE
via MOU.
While you as the grantee have deliverables to meet
with us, we have deliverables to meet with DSS.
Licensing
All SAC grants must be licensed;
•
If you are a returning SAC grantee you need to make
sure your license is valid;
•
If you are new you have one (1) year from date of
award to become licensed.
Failure to meet the aforementioned deliverables will
cause your program to cease operation until licensing is
achieved which can result in budgets being adjusted.
Accreditation
Brief overview of compliance for SAC grant:
•
If you a returning grantee you must be accredited or
be in the process of completing the process;
•
If you are a new grantee you are not required until the
next cycle.
•
Please note the full cost of accreditation through MOA
is now covered by the grant.
Advisory Council
•
•
•
You are required to convene an advisory council for
your SAC program;
The advisory council should be diverse and include:
parents, students, teachers, volunteers, or community
members;
DESE recommends quarterly meetings, for
monitoring purposes make sure you keep sign-in
sheets and minutes of the meeting.
Request for Reimbursement

To put simply this is how your program receives its grant dollars.

RFR’s are due the 15th of the month regardless of holidays and weekends.



Prior to signing off on an RFR your DESE supervisor will check KCC data entry, and any
outstanding documents, or deliverables so make sure you have everything caught up;
Please make sure to tell your bookkeeper to round all figures!!!!!!!!!
If you are requesting reimbursement in the equipment category and claiming indirect costs on
the same RFR you will need to subtract out the equipment line item about, take that total times
the approved indirect cost rate, and add the equipment line item total to the subtotal.
Budget Amendment






Budget Amendments allow you to move monies between categories;
Once submitted you will receive a scanned copy with an “approved” stamp. This becomes
your new working budget.
We certainly understand the need to modify budgets from time to time however excessive
budget amendments are considered on our monitoring risk assessment;
Budget amendments will not be accepted after Mat 15, 2015.
There is no 10% variance meaning every dollar must be accounted for and approved by DESE
staff;
Make sure you consult the spending guidelines prior to submitting a budget amendment.
Final Expenditure Report
•
Literally the easiest form to complete ;
•
Simply add the totals from each RFR per category.
•
The Final Expenditure Report is due no later than
July 15, 2015
Final Program Report
•
•
This report allows us to evaluate data from your
program for the year;
Make sure you fill out the form completely!
Request of Key Staff Change
•
•
This is completed only if a primary contact person is
replaced. Once completed you will receive
approval from DESE;
We understand that front line staff leave the
program regularly so this form is not necessary for
them.
Renewal Packet
•
•
Renewals are non-competitive but resemble your
original application;
Make sure you fully complete the application and
attach everything required i.e. licensing and
accreditation certificates;
Kids Care Center and DESE Portal
•
•
•
•
•
•
Once setup and trained on KCC you must regularly enter
required data;
As previously mentioned this entry is verified via report sent to
DESE prior to the processing of RFR’s;
It is very important to keep your KCC data up to date;
The DESE Afterschool Portal is the coolest thing ever;
You will find updated versions of every document on the
Portal;
In addition to current forms you will find numerous resources,
trainings available, and a collection of recorded webinars and
Fast 5 Fridays.

program is doing and ask any questions.
