GEAR UPdates

October 13, 2010                                                  Days left in grant: 322           
Clay County High School walk-through has been moved to November 16. 


Paying for the ACT test from GEAR UP Funds  
GEAR UP funds may be used to pay for eligible 12th grade students who want to re-take the ACT and have exhausted all other available fee waivers. Staff may request a 2010-2011 budget modification for this item only after all funds in the budget (in the materials category in this case) have been exhausted, and presuming that all funds in all remaining categories (excluding salary/benefits) are projected to be spent. If a GEAR UP Kentucky site pays the ACT fees for students, documentation must be kept on file in the regional GEAR UP office and must be made available upon request by the CPE offices or an auditor.  Documentation must include a list of students by school and grade level along with each student’s identification number (whether SS number or KDE student ID—you must choose only one and use it for all students).  For evaluation purposes, it would be helpful to obtain and keep on a file a copy of the students’ test report after the ACT test has been scored and returned to the student.
