This is a Budget Narrative and Worksheet attachment for the Oregon Department of Education's CTE Revitalization Grant 2025-2027 (RFA S-58100-00016940), a competitive grant program serving Oregon public school districts, Educational Service Districts, public schools, and public charter schools. The attachment requires applicants to submit two components: a Budget Narrative not exceeding three pages and a completed Budget Worksheet that details all project expenditures and matching funds. The budget worksheet organizes costs by object codes including salaries (1XX), benefits (2XX), instructional and professional services (31X), travel (34X), general and technical services (390), supplies and materials (4XX), non-consumable items (460), computer software (470), computer hardware (480), capital outlay (520), depreciable technology (550), and administrative costs capped at 5 percent (690). The application submission deadline is June 24, 2026, at 2:59 PM (PDT), with all project activities required to be completed by June 30, 2027, and final reports due October 8, 2027.

The maximum grant award is $125,000 for single-school applications and up to $250,000 for multi-district consortia applications, with no minimum funding requirement specified. Grant funds must support allowable costs directly related to approved project activities, and applicants may provide estimated matching funds by object code to demonstrate financial commitment. Capital improvements and vehicle purchases are explicitly prohibited due to the short timeline. Administrative costs are strictly limited to 5 percent of the total project budget. The grant is funded through legislative appropriation in SB 5515 (2025) and is authorized under ORS 344.075, with the performance period running from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, and retroactive funding available from the start date. No set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises apply to this grant program.
