DNR Processing Teacher Sub Stipends

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Forestry, requests proposals for qualified firms or individuals who have accounting, timekeeping and fund management skills to administer, process, and disburse stipend payments to participating school districts to cover the cost of a substitute teacher so that the primary teacher can attend DNR forestry education events, such as School Forest summits and conferences. The Responder must have at least $13,500.00 in disposable cash to pay the school district. After payment is made to the school district, the Responder will invoice the DNR for the amount they paid to the schools, and the fee the Responder is applying. The Responder's income is the fee they charge but will need to have cash on hand to pay the school district first. \[Partial description.
