District Considerations When Applying for a Grant: Districts may wish to use the “District Considerations When Applying for a Grant” document to help them decide whether to apply for available grants. The document includes questions designed to prompt critical grant discussions within the district. This is an optional exercise; districts do not have to use the document.
