MEMORANDUM

TO:

District School Superintendents and Other Agency Heads

FROM:

Wayne V. Pierson

SUBJECT:

Fourth Quarter Payments for State-Funded Projects

Grant award notifications for state-funded projects awarded by the Florida Department of

Education specified that payments would be made quarterly, consistent with the amount of

funding for each appropriation released by the Governor’s Office. Typically, the entire amount

of funding available for the fourth quarter would be released to the Department of Education in

March to provide for the fourth

quarter payments to districts. This year, however, the

Governor’s Office has advised us that a portion of the funds will be released to the Department

each month of the quarter.

In order to facilitate the payment of fourth quarter funds to districts for state-funded projects, the

Department of Education will make one payment in April and the balance in June.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
