281—64.13(256A,279) Termination for cause.  The contract may be terminated in whole or in part at any time before the date of completion, whenever it is determined by the council that the grantee has failed to comply substantially with the conditions of the contract. The grantee will be notified in writing by the department of the reasons for the termination and the effective date. The grantee shall not incur new obligations for the terminated portion after the effective date of termination and cancel as many outstanding obligations as possible.
The department will administer the grants under this chapter contingent upon funding availability. If there is a lack of funds necessary to fulfill the fiscal responsibility of the child development grants and the public school grants, the contracts will be terminated or renegotiated. The department may terminate or renegotiate a contract upon 30 days’ notice when there is a reduction of funds by executive order.
