After submission of grant applications, each of the school principals has a scheduled interview with FIRE's Grant Committee during a Grant Review Day. The application and needs are discussed at that time, and committee members determine grant amounts which are disbursed in August, December, and April of the next school year. The Mid Year Progress Report is due in December. It is a tool used by the Board to hold grant recipients accountable for the funds granted. The Grant Notification Letters specify the restricted use of the funds, and state that if the population of students with special needs changes during the year, the Grant Committee should be notified.
