Local System Scope of WorkInstructions
The Scope of Work provides the plan for use of money designated for a local school system from the
Race to the Top grant. The funds are for a four-year period and the Scope of Work should specify use
for each year. General guidelines are as follows:
1. Total planned expenditures over four years must match the total amount designated for the
local system.
o Budgeted amounts for individual years may vary, but the minimum appropriation for
year 1 should be no less than 25% of the total LEA award. LEAs may request all of the
money in year 1 if justifiable to accomplish bold and innovative reform.
o Actual expenditures may fall within 90% - 110% of budgeted amount without
submission of a budget amendment.
o Money not spent during a designated year may be rolled to the ensuing year.
o In general, there are few restrictions on the use of RTTT funds except that they must be
related to the state proposal and not supplant existing expenditures. The purpose of the
grant is to provide bold and innovative reform that supports the State's approved Race to the
Top application. They must also
Payment of maintenance costs
Stadiums or other facilities primarily used for athletic contests or exhibitions or other
events for which admission is charged to the general public
Purchase or upgrade of vehicles
Improvements of stand-alone facilities whose purpose is not the education of
children, including central office administration or operations or logistical
support facilities
School modernization, renovation, or repair that is inconsistent with State law
2. Planned activities mustrelate to and support the state application. Allowable uses of RTTT
funds are outlined on a separate page and must be coded in the Scope of Work.
3. Planned activities that create recurring costs for the local system beyond the four-year scope
of the grant must be noted. The local funding body must attest that they are aware of the
recurring costs and that they acknowledge that these costs will become the responsibility of
the local funding body.
4. The Scope of Work may be submitted by a local system or by a consortium of systems. If
submitted by a consortium, all of the above stipulations apply to each participating system.
A lead system must be identified that will receive, disburse, and account for all funds.
Separate cost centers must be maintained by the lead system to account for all RTTT funds.
Instructions:
1. Each year of expenditures should be detailed on a separate sheet. Complete the system (or
consortium)
2. Complete the Scope of Work for each year. A sample sheet is included.
o Activity Describe the activity planned for supporting the state RTTT application.

application using coding in chart on separate page.
