Grants coordinator: Wayne County wins 5 of 31 state Extended School Day awards; federal decisions pending

Grants Coordinator Jay Roscup told the Government Operations Committee that Wayne County was awarded five of the 31 remaining Extended School Day grants in New York State and that he is "awaiting decisions on a large number of federal grants and is hopeful that there will be updates on those applications by the October meeting." He also said the Evalumetrics Youth Survey is expected to take place in February and that he forwards new opportunities to Interim County Administrator Mark Humbert and department heads.

Roscup framed the survey and grant tracking as tools to identify youth needs and funding priorities. The committee did not take formal action on grant awards at the meeting; Roscup said he will report back as decisions arrive and noted the October meeting as the next expected update point.
