Berkeley High School Berkeley Schools Excellence Program (BSEP) Application: Request for Funds for 2014-15
Requests will be reviewed by the BHS BSEP Committee, which is composed of parents, students, staff and the principal.  Conflict of interest rules prohibit any person from sitting on the Committee who would stand to benefit financially (either him/herself or a close family member) from the use of these BSEP dollars.  

BSEP funds are intended for direct student services and activities.  BSEP funds cannot, by law, be spent for individual scholarships, travel allowances, gifts, prizes of any kind, or for uniforms or costumes that will be kept by individual students.  These are considered “gifts of public monies” and are prohibited by the State of California Education Code.  In addition, BSEP funds cannot be used to pay off outstanding debts, for trips to destinations outside the State of California, for staff development, or for administrators who do not have direct contact with the students as part of the proposal.

Applications must be submitted by 5:00 pm on March 17, 2014.  Personnel costs will be verified based upon the classification, Full Time Equivalence (FTE) and identity of the individual expected to fill the position.  District staff will project the approximate salary and fringe benefit cost of your proposal and forward that information to the BSEP Committee for inclusion with your application.  

All BSEP Committee meetings have time set aside for public comment.  To avail yourself of the opportunity to speak about your proposal, contact Jessica Lopez at jessicalopez@berkeley.net to schedule.
