What is SPLASHWhat is SPLASH Shaping Positive Lifestyles and Attitudes through

School Health (SPLASH) is an initiative of the Michigan Nutrition Network, which is focused on bringing quality nutrition and physical education to Michigan’s low income schools.  By providing quality health education and physical education curricular programs to schools with the greatest needs, SPLASH is reducing disparity in the delivery of these valuable lessons and skill development.

SPLASH YEARLY TIMELINESSPLASH YEARLY TIMELINESSPLASH is a year-to-year project. Project Years are October 1 – September 30.

•Intent to Participate: districts are asked in the late Spring of the previous year to get Intent to Apply commitments from schools. This includes the estimate of how many teachers will be in the program, their grade level, and if they will need training.

•Salary and Fringe Forms: In late August/early Septemeber SPLASH requests Salary and Fringe information from schools. This information is used as the match for the grant funds (the teachers time @ their salary/fringe = match). This also informs the project of who needs training, what teachers FOR SURE are in the project, and what grades FOR SURE they will be teaching that year, and so on…

•October 1, START DATE: No more reimbursements from the previous year can be paid. A new project year has begun.

•October-December Training: We do our very best to get any teacher that needs to be trained in Michigan Model or EPEC trained in these months. This is the time of year you will be doing most of the invoicing for subs and mileage.

•Spring: This is the time of year schools usually do their Family Connection Events. You will be invoicing the ISD for reimbursement of approved items for the event, given we have itemized receipts. (Teachers must submit a preapproval form for these events, and ONLY approved items will be reimbursed).
