(1) Any board of
cooperative services may act as a local education agency for a participating
member or consortium of members that chooses to apply for, receive, or administer
a grant through a grant program created by a federal or state statute or program.
The provisions of this section shall not apply to federal formula grant moneys
unless allowed by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Pub.L.
89-10.

(2) A board of cooperative services may apply to the department for federal
or state moneys received by the department only with the approval of two or more
of the BOCES member school districts that have expressly agreed to participate in
a grant application through a vote by the board of directors of the board of
cooperative services. If a board of cooperative services applies for state or federal
grant moneys on behalf of participating member school districts, the participating
member school districts are not eligible to apply for the same state or federal grant
moneys. If a participating member school district of a BOCES expressly declines to
participate in a grant application, that member school district is not precluded from
applying for the same state or federal grant moneys as an individual school district.

(3) A board of cooperative services may apply to any division within the
department for any federal and state grant moneys for which it is eligible. All
divisions within the department must treat boards of cooperative services as local
education agencies and inform them of and allow them to apply for all federal and
state grant moneys for which they are eligible.

(4) An eligible grantee or consortium of grantees may designate a board of
cooperative services as the fiscal manager for a state or federal grant. The grantee
or consortium of grantees remains responsible for ensuring that all the
requirements of the grant are met.

(5) The state board may promulgate rules to establish processes and
guidelines for a board of cooperative services to apply for state or federal grant
moneys pursuant to this section.
