Jerome Joint School District No. 261

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT 7236

Employees Paid with Federal Funds and Unexpected or Extraordinary Closures

During any emergency closure of District facilities, District employees who are paid with federal funds shall be

compensated or given unpaid time off in the same manner as similarly situated District employees paid with

District funds. Such employees shall continue to perform their grant-funded duties during the closure, to the

extent possible. This may include, to the extent practicable, working by phone, email, and video conference.

Employees supported with federal grant funds who are intended to provide direct services to students may

maintain contact with students during the period of the unexpected or extraordinary closure using the alternative,

appropriate methods. District employees paid with federal funds shall return to work as soon as possible.

Federal Funding

It is the intent of the District to apply consistent accounting treatment when allocating funds across both federal

and non-federal funding streams. The District will ensure that the expenditures incurred meet allowability

requirements for the specific program and are both reasonable, regardless of whether the funding stream is

federal, state, or local in nature.
