Grants of up to $30,500 to Arkansas school districts partnering with nonprofit organizations or agencies for projects to promote physical activity. Funding is intended to improve the overall health of students and community members. Eligible projects increase access to existing recreational facilities.
The Division of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), School Health Services Office is pleased to announce the Arkansas Joint Use Agreement (JUA) Grant Request for Applications. Joint use is the practice of allowing use of public school buildings and/or grounds by non-public school entities and/or vice versa. A JUA is a collaborative agreement between a school and local government or non-profit entity setting forth the terms and conditions for shared use of public property/facility. JUAs can range in scope from relatively simple written agreements, such as opening school playgrounds to the community outside of school hours where both agencies agree to maintain and support the space, to complex collaborations, such as a district allowing community individuals and groups to access all school recreation facilities or allowing schools to access all city or county recreation facilities.
The JUA grant funds must be used to assist schools and communities in achieving collaborative partnerships to improve the overall health status of students and/or other community members by increasing opportunities for physical activity.
For priority points, see p. 5 of the Grant Guidelines in Supporting Documents below.
For allowable expenses, see p. 9 of the Grant Guidelines in Supporting Documents below.
