Rural and Low-Income Schools Report: Sept. 30, 2022

To view your LEA compliance reports, log into TEAL and select eGrants as the application. Once in eGrants, click on Compliance Reports on the menu bar.

Description

Each program under the 2021-2022 ESSA Consolidated Federal Grant Application has a program compliance report. All LEAs that applied for funding on their own, as fiscal agents, or as members of shared services arrangements in the 2021-2022 grant year are required to complete applicable compliance reports. The reports are designed to collect data on program participation, expenditures, and program compliance. A sample of the compliance reports, instructions, and training videos are available on the Federal Program Compliance Division web page through the Division Resources section.

5 Principles of Customer Service in Education training is coming to select locations soon! Through activities and lively discussion, attendees will learn how to improve relationships, increase parent and family engagement, and positively impact student success by providing outstanding customer service.

Revised Planning Amounts are available for the 2022–2023 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Consolidated Federal Grant Application

Local Educational Agency (LEA) revised planning amounts for ESSA formula grant programs are now available and can be viewed on the Entitlements webpage. Revised planning amounts are based on the US Department of Education July Grant Award Notifications and replace previously posted planning amounts which were based on the federal budget tables.

Note: The 2022–2023 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application (Federal) and the 2022–2023 Perkins V: Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century planning amounts have not changed.

LEAs that have submitted their 2022–2023 ESSA Consolidated Federal Grant Application based on planning amounts may adjust their budgets as appropriate during negotiation if the application is in process. LEAs that have already received a notice of grant award may budget for their revised planning amounts when they submit their next amendment. If your LEA has not submitted its ESSA application, budgets will be populated with revised planning amounts and as a reminder, applications are due September 2, 2022.

For Further Information

For questions regarding revised planning amounts, please email the Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting Division at entitlements@tea.texas.gov.
