Magnet schools are required to document the use of funds and positions for support of the magnet theme implementation and/or marketing only. This should be reconciled at the end of the fiscal year to ensure fidelity to appropriate use of funds. Magnet Coordinators will submit a plan for use of funds document to the Magnet Administrator for planning and monitoring purposes.
