Policies: Grand City School District

Educational law includes the financial responsibility of an educational institution or district. This includes the funding sources that school systems utilize to acquire resources and how funds are disseminated. Educational leaders who manage the financial obligations of the educational institution or districts must understand the laws that govern the use and dissemination of money. The misuse of resources, intentional or unintentional, could lead to consequences, such as criminal liability and loss of employment or license.
