- Manage the Title I grant and assist with program implementation
- Monitor programs for Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) compliance
- Provide fiscal and compliance oversight to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse
- Prepare for audits and New York State monitoring reviews of Federal program dollars
- Serve as liaison between the District and the New York State Department of Education for Federal program matters.

Role of Our Valued Stakeholders
Much like the inclusive role of a School-Based Management Team in creating a school-based budget, school districts are required to consult with various stakeholder groups before they develop budgets and determine programs using Federal funds.
Buffalo Public Schools takes this responsibility seriously, and we solicit stakeholder involvement in a variety of ways.
- Online Surveys (click HERE to participate)
- In-Person Community Meetings
- LiveSteam/virtual meetings, with digital stakeholder participation
