Approve GEER II Subgrants

C. Sears made a motion to Approve GEER II Subgrant Supplements.

The Georgia Strategic Charter School Growth Initiative partners (SCSF, SCSC, GCSA) recommend awarding GEER II Start-up Subgrant Supplements as follows:

  • The Anchor School - $7,000
  • DeKalb Brilliance - $6,000
  • Sankofa Montessori - $7,000

Background: All schools were awarded GEER II Start-up Subgrants to assist with their opening activities. Start-up Subgrantees that have expended at least 80% of funds by Monday and were not fully funded for their original request were invited to apply for a subgrant supplemental award, based on fund availability. Each applicant presented a budget and a plan to expend all funds fully by September 30, 2023. The SCSF has $20,000 available for additional supplemental subgrant awards.

The committee VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
