Federal Programs Updates:
November 10th is the final date to submit your FY 2024 Final Expenditure Report for Federal Title Funds. An FER must be completed and submitted before you can draw down your FY 2025 allocation. Also, here are a few other things to remember:
- You will need to complete your Title drawdowns in numerical order. i.e. Title I, then Title III, etc...
- An FER will need to be completed for each Federal Program award, even if it was transferred into another Title program.
- After you have completed your FER and it has been approved, you can make an amendment to accept up to 15% of your allocation from the previous year.
