To All Municipalities and School District Administrators:
The Office of Grants Administration (OGA) has updated its procedures regarding the submission of school construction grant payment requests.
Policy Reminder:
In accordance with Chapter 173 (§10-284 and §10-287) and Department of Administrative Services (DAS) policy, only Superintendents are authorized to submit payment requests.
Submissions made by third parties or other municipal personnel are considered non-compliant and will be returned for resubmission.
New Option to Assign a Designee:
To streamline future submissions, school district Superintendents may now designate one municipal employee to act on the Superintendent’s behalf for submitting payment requests.
Steps to Assign a Designee:
- Complete the Assignment of Designee Form
- Email the signed form to DAS.GrantsAdministration@ct.gov
- After submission, the town administrator for the district will create a Core-CT user account for the designee.
- The OGA Security Liaison will coordinate role setup and access permissions.
Compliance Reminder:
Please ensure that all future payment requests are submitted in accordance with these updated guidelines to avoid delays in processing.
Should you need assistance or have questions, do not hesitate to contact the Office of Grants Administration.
Thank you for your attention and cooperation.
