Federal Projects & Resource Development

Federal Projects and Resource Development supports the development and implementation of externally-funded programs that advance the mission, vision and strategic initiatives of Seminole County Public Schools. Department staff provide technical assistance to district departments and schools on the acceptable uses of funds, as well as project and budget amendments, reporting, and project closeout. Projects are funded under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently authorized as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), and Perkins V, as well as other federal programs and special grant initiatives at the federal, state and local levels. These funding opportunities include provisions that broaden the definitions of educational excellence, while maintaining critical civil rights for all students, and providing the diverse, integrated curriculum and learning experiences necessary for a well-rounded education.
