CARES and COVID-19 Related Updates
Important Reminder: The ESSER grant amendment is due next Monday, March 1st, by 5:00 p.m. If it has not been done yet, all LEAs must submit an amendment that reflects final amounts. ESSER amendments are paper-based (not in eGrants), and you may find the two necessary parts for the amendment (PDF and Excel spreadsheet) on TEA's Grant Opportunities page.
Remember, if you do not have any PNPs participating in ESSER, you may use a saved version of your original application editable PDF for your amendment. If you do have PNPs participating, you must use the new application PDF available at the link above.
If you have recently submitted your ESSER amendment and have any questions regarding the status of your district’s amendment or want to know if an amendment was received, please contact one of the ESSER negotiators below. Questions should not be sent to the grant applications email inbox as it is only for receiving applications.
