Curriculum Funding

Curriculum Funding

GSRP funding includes a $2,000,000 set aside to support GSRP classrooms with the purchase of comprehensive curriculum, ongoing authentic child assessment, or developmental screening tools approved for use in GSRP. Curriculum funding may also be utilized for costs associated with providing professional learning in the tools. Each year, ISDs are asked to submit an aggregated funding request for these materials and/or training, including costs for subrecipients to MiLEAP. If the total request from all ISDs is equal to or less than $2,000,000, each ISD will receive its requested amount. If the total exceeds $2,000,000, MiLEAP will prorate the funds. Any ISD requesting less than the prorated share will receive its requested amount.

An ISD may request funding for any or all these purposes:

  • To change or update comprehensive curriculum, ongoing authentic child assessment, and/or developmental screening tools approved for use in GSRP;
  • To purchase new or updated comprehensive curriculum, ongoing authentic child assessment, and/or developmental screening tools approved for use in GSRP;
  • To purchase supplies or materials to support the implementation of the comprehensive curriculum, ongoing authentic child assessment, and/or developmental screening tools approved for use in GSRP; and/or
  • To provide professional learning on the implementation of the comprehensive curriculum, ongoing authentic child assessment, and/or developmental screening tools approved for use in GSRP.

When curriculum funds have been allocated, ISDs will submit a budget and final expenditure report (FER) in NexSys.
