Applying for 2012-13 Federal Funds
New 2012-13 Application open in eGrants later in the Spring
2012-13 Funds become available to states/LEAs on July 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013 Tydings Amendments authorize carryover of
unused 2012-13 funds through September 30, 2014 (total of 27 months)
Date of submission of application for state approval through eGrants determines start date.
11
eGrants Changes in 2012
Minimal Changes to system for 2012-13 Consortium Leads now have a check-
box/bypass to indicate sections of narrative that do not apply to consortiums.
Wording changes in narrative for clarification.
12
Reminder
Narratives and budgets do NOT rollover from previous year. Must complete all sections each year.
Provide a comprehensive answer explaining how you will use federal funds for the 2012-13 school year. Do not include information on non-federal grants
unless they are used to align/supplement your federal grant dollars.
eGrants = State Approved Program Revise as necessary throughout the program year
to reflect actual activities and budgets.
13
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications
Problem: Funds that are accounted for on the Reservation of Funds Page or on the Selection of School page (nonpublic instructional costs) are not accounted for properly on the Budget.
Remedy: Utilize the Administrative Manual for proper fund coding.
14
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications (continued)
Problem: The dollar amounted derived for nonpublic services on the Reservation of Funds page and Selection of Schools page (and on the Budget) do not match the Nonpublic Signoff
Remedy: Check this carefully as nonpub personnel are hard to find after initial signoff!
15
Common Issues with Consolidated Application (continued)
Problem: The entire allocation is not budgeted and therefor applied for.
Remedy: Keep in mind that in “data-entry” mode there are three budget screens that only collapse into one final budget once submitted. Also, make sure balance is “zeroed-out”.
16
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications (continued)
Problem: The budget and the narrative (Consolidated LEA Plan) do not match.
Remedy: Utilize the coding and program allowable expenditure guidances as provided in the Administrative Manual.
17
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications (continued)
Problem: In the section labeled “Title I Program Description” (within the Consolidated LEA Plan) the LEA is asked to enter the “Estimated # of minutes/week for Supplemental Title I Instruction”. Often entered incorrectly.
Remedy: Enter the average per student.
18
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications (continued)
Problem: In the Parent Involvement section of the narrative (Consolidated LEA Plan) there has been some confusion over what dates/timeframes are reasonable.
Remedy: “Parent Input on Current Title I Application for Funds” must be completed prior to the start of the school year.
19
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications (continued)
Remedy: “School –Level Policy/Plans”, “LEA Parent Involvement Policy”, “Parent/School Compacts”, “Annual Title I Parent Meeting”, and “Parent Right to Know Qualifications of Teachers” must be completed in September or October.
NOTE: all other categories can be ongoing.
20
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications (continued)
Problem: Buildings in School Improvement I or II (including Making Progress) must reserve 10% of the Selection of Schools derived allocation for 2270/Professional Development
Remedy: Check the http://paayp.emetric.net/ website for current and anticipated AYP statuses
21
Common Issues with Consolidated Applications (continued)
Problem: The incorrect program type has been selected on the drop-down box on the Selection of Schools page.
Remedy: Before completing this section determine if buildings are Targeted, School Wide, Eligible through Grandfathering Clause, Ineligible, or Eligible but not served
22
Common Issues with Consolidated Application (continued)
Problem: Not completing and submitting the necessary paperwork to PDE/School Services Office when one or more of their buildings closes or reconfigures. The Selection of Schools process cannot be completed.
Remedy: Please contact School Services at [email protected] or 717-214-8212 for closings or reconfigurations.
23
Admin User Rights in eGrants
Effective Immediately, please contact the Admin in your LEA that has super user rights.
Some LEAs may have more than one person listed.
Our office will no longer be editing anyone’s who has or does not have user rights.
This is to protect accessibility to your LEA in eGrants.
24
FISCAL ISSUES
25
Process for Completing FERs
When all grant funds have been obligated: Submit a Final Expenditure Report (FER) in
eGrants to close out project and release the final payment.
Compare actual expenditures to most recent approved budget on eGrants: If all categories are within 20% of the
approved budget total for each line, proceed with creating a final expenditure report.
If any budget line item total exceeds 20% of the approved total, submit a budget revision for approval prior to creating an FER.
26
Final Expenditure Reports
Important:
IF FER is created BEFORE a budget revision is done
LEA must delete the FER
Recreate the FER - AFTER the budget revision is submitted/approved
27
Final Expenditure Reports Due Dates – 30 days after funding period ends or as soon as
funds are liquidated
Carryover – One full year extension (October 1-September
30)
Electronic Form – 2006-07 Mandatory On-line submission
FER Instruction Guide – e-Grants & PDE Website
Financial Accounting Information/FAI – Payment
Status
Equipment – Amount must match last approved budget
28
Final Expenditure Report from Previous Year Carryover
Carryover – 1 full year extension
If LEA requested “carryover”, an additional year is given to expend fundsFER is due within 30 days of
obligating all fundsCarryover funds remain in and
must be reported with the original project year in which they were allocated
