4. Progress Report Tips
Give a couple examples of how you are meeting each area.
Quality, not quantity is what we want.
Feel free to use pathway application examples as proof.
Report what you have done and what may happen in the remaining school year for your area.
It is okay not to meet all goals at this time.

Help consultants to identify needs for FY18 in equipment, supplies, PD and required up-skills for teachers.
Reserve grants are generally higher cost items, PD or designed to meet a specific need of the pathway/cluster.
Reports, final expenditure and deadlines are included in all grants.
**Notify district clerk or finance of grant award.
