Reporting Forms

Both the Utah State Legislature and the United States Government have placed emphasis on accountability. Therefore, several reports have been developed by Utah State Board of Education to obtain information.

Local Applications, payment requests, and Accountability Reports (Part A)  are now processed through the Utah Grants Management System.

Approved federal funds do not flow automatically to eligible recipients as do state funds. The federal flow of funding is based strictly on a reimbursement of actual costs expended. Payment requests can be sought at a minimum of a once a month. It is a mandatory requirement that Perkins funds be requested during the period of availability for those funds, which is typically 12 months.
