It is the objective of the Board of Education to take full advantage of legislation which makes available Federal funds and to use these funds to provide equally to students of this District a) better educational opportunities and environments and b) better physical and mental individual growth for each student.

The Superintendent or a staff member designated by the Superintendent shall review new Federal education legislation and prepare proposals he/she deems would be of aid to the student of the District. The Superintendent shall approve each such proposal prior to its submission to the appropriate person(s) or agency. All grants resulting from such proposals shall be approved and accepted or otherwise disposed of by the Board.

The Board regards available Federal funds of aid to local school districts and communities as a public trust. It forbids the use of Federal monies for partisan political activities and for any use that would not be in accord with Federal guidelines on discrimination. All Federal funds received by the District will be used in accordance with the applicable Federal law. The Superintendent shall require that each draw of Federal monies is as close as administratively feasible to the related program expenditures and that, when restricted, such monies are used to supplement programs and funding and not to supplant or replace existing programming or current funding.

No Federal funds received by the District shall be used (1) to develop or distribute materials, or operate programs or courses of instruction directed at youth, that are designed to promote or encourage sexual activity, whether homosexual or heterosexual; (2) to distribute or to aid in the distribution by any organization of legally obscene materials to minors on school grounds; (3) to provide sex education or HIV-prevention education in schools unless that instruction is age appropriate and includes the health benefits of abstinence; or (4) to operate a program of contraceptive distribution in schools.
