Fiscal Year 2027 District Funding Assurances

The fiscal year 2027 district funding assurances are currently available in the Grants Management Application and Planning System (GMAP).

The assurances are a stand-alone document and not part of the consolidated application. The role of district funding assurances director has been added to complete and approve the assurances. If district staff need the role of district funding assurances director, please contact your district GMAP user access administrator to add the role. A list of GMAP user access administrators are located in GMAP under KDE Resources.

Once the district funding assurances have been completed in GMAP, you must print the document to present to your local board for approval. Upon approval by your local board, the superintendent (not the designee) must upload the assurances statement under their GMAP login by Sept. 30. The district funding assurances statement template is located in GMAP in the District Document Library.

Instructions for completing and uploading the assurances statement in GMAP is available FY 2027 District Funding Assurances Upload Instructions
