If an assistant principal position was added specifically to coordinate or manage the grant program on the affected campus, could that individuals salary be paid with grant funds?
In most instances, no. The title “assistant principal” implies the individual will be performing other duties that an assistant principal might typically perform. If the position was indeed added to specifically coordinate or manage a grant program, then, to avoid an audit exception or misperception, the TEA recommends that the title of the person more appropriately reflect the duties of the position, such as “grant coordinator”. To be able to pay the salary from the grant, the position must be properly budgeted and approved in the grant application, and the duties must coincide with that of a grant coordinator, and not of an assistant principal. If the position was added to perform the duties of an assistant principal as well as grant duties, see the answer to section K, question 41.
