Future Proud Michigan Educator Staff Grant

The GYO Team is offering a special set of Office Hours for FY26 grantees for October (see below for calendar and registration links). Any staff member who has questions related to the administration of their FY26 GYO Educator Development grant is encouraged to participate. Staff members must register first using the links below. 

IMPORTANT: Make sure you use a valid and active email address when registering. The GYO staff will not have a “general access” link.

The FY26 GYO School Staff Grant Monitoring and Guidance Document (updated September 2026) is now available for all FY26 grantees. This document is your primary resource for grant administration instructions, rules, best practices, reporting deadlines, and reference information.

The federal Compliance Team has provided a helpful FRF 40 GYO Subrecipient Closeout Checklist for grantees preparing for the final stages of the FY23 GYO Grant. This resource is optional but highly recommended as a document to ensure compliance and good financial management before the end of the grant period. Note that this is a Word document; click the link below to download the file.

The GYO Team is offering more Office Hours sessions with open Q&A time for FY23 grant closeout topics. For each of the months of July, August, and September, two 90-minute sessions will be offered (see below for calendar and registration links). Any staff member who has questions about the current “sunset guidance” and best practices for grant closeout is encouraged to participate. Staff members must register first using the links below. 
 
IMPORTANT: Make sure you use a valid and active email address when registering. The GYO staff will not have a “general access” link.

This video is the next installment of the “sunset guidance” for all FY23 GYO grantees. Please review it as share it with staff involved in the administration of the GYO Grant at your district. It can be accessed on MDE’s YouTube channel here:

If you are amending an existing budget, click "Amendment in Progress" in the Status Options tab in your budget application, then enter and save your updates before clicking "Submit". Note: These options are only available during the reporting window. 

(All deadlines for these reports are listed in the Section 27b Grow Your Own School Staff Grant Monitoring and Guidance Document.) Use the NexSys GYO Expenditure Report Instructions to successfully report your updated GYO expenditures on NexSys.

This budget and financial reporting video resource was originally created for Round 1 grantees but contains information and tips that are relevant for all awarded districts updating their budgets for their GYO programs.
