Federal Use of Funds Survey Notification For SL 2021-3, Section 1.8 FY2022 Q4
To all Finance Officers and Directors of Charter Schools:
Session Law 2021-3 Section 1.8 requires all public school units to submit quarterly reports to the Department of Public Instruction on the use of specific COVID funds. Below are 2 survey links for Expenditures and Use of Funds and Established Positions. Complete and submit these surveys online no later than Friday, July 15, 2022. This data collection is for FY2022 YTD (as of June 30, 2022) and only pertains to PRCs 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177 and 178.
Expenditures and Use of Funds: https://forms.office.com/r/m5zDNKaKSn
Established Positions: https://forms.office.com/r/4LqGtVs6VK
Note: The online survey “Established Positions” form limits the number of positions you can enter. If you have 20+ positions to report, you may submit the Established Positions survey via email using the attached Excel file. Only PSU with 20 or more positions may use the Excel attachment. You must submit the survey “Expenditures and Use of Fund” online even if you are submitting the position detail via email. If you are submitting established positions via email, send the completed file to Corey.Terry@dpi.nc.gov.
Important - Read and follow the file’s instructions carefully (refer to tab “instructions” in the attached Excel file) – you must change the file name to indicate your PSU number and you must include the file name with your PSU number in the subject line of your email. Do not change or modify the design of this file and do not insert or delete any columns or change the field properties to prevent delays or denial of your submission.
The submission is due to DPI on Friday, July 15, 2022. DPI is required to combine responses from all public school units and provide the data to the General Assembly’s Fiscal Research Division on your behalf each quarter. This survey is mandated by the legislation and will be updated quarterly reflecting the PRCs that have been allotted. We appreciate your assistance by submitting the reports by the given deadline so we have time to process your files.
FAQ:
Geographic distribution – this is the borders of the LEA or the catchment area of the charters, etc. If a PSU is running a program designed for students in one subset of its catchment area, then they could note that in the report (e.g., a Wake County Public School’s program designed for students in the Town of Cary).
Number of people served – if it’s a PSU-wide program, then it is all the students in the PSU. If it is limited to a specific subset, then it is the number of students that it is limited to (e.g., school-specific programs inside the larger LEA or programs limited to low-income students).
Summer Schools – do not include summer school employees in the position detail component
Funds Received – funds received is your allotment amount.
PRC–the survey collects only PRC’s 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177 and 178. Do not include any other Covid related funds only the PRC’s listed.
If you have any questions, contact Coey.Terry@dpi.nc.gov

NC ACCESS Aspiring Minority School Leaders Program
Are you looking for School Leaders?
The North Carolina Advancing Charter Collaboration and Excellence for Student Success (NC ACCESS) grant program in the Office of Charter Schools was excited to embark on the Aspiring Minority School Leaders Program in collaboration with Appalachian State University. The Aspiring Minority School Leaders Program was designed to recruit, support, and build a pipeline of minority school leaders prepared to meet the challenges of leading schools. North Carolina charter schools will benefit by having access to a cohort of school leaders of color and women who are exceptionally trained, ready to be part of innovative school reform initiatives, and ready to move into leadership positions with strengthened organizational and instructional leadership skills.
We are proud to announce that we have twelve completers from the program. All have a Master’s Degree and years of school-based experience. If you are actively looking to fill certified school leadership positions, please send your listing to Dr. Barbara O’Neal in the Office of Charter Schools at barbara.oneal@dpi.nc.gov. I will send your position notices to the program completers.
Note: This special effort to inform this group of twelve does not replace the normal process of sending open positions notices to the OCS Newsletter, please continue to send them your position notices. Questions, please feel free to contact me at the same email address.
