This bill is part of an effort to put up guardrails concerning school based health clinics and any other potential education poison pills that could come from the federal level. Currently federal grants typically need school board approval and therefore are subject to public input, but often superintendents will list a federal grant as "anticipated funds" and bypass the need for school board approval. This bill specifies that all federal grants exceeding $20,000 are "unanticipated funds" and therefore subject to school board approval and public notice, and I am in full support.
