CIP Budget Narrative Submission Reminders
The CIP Budget Narrative is where districts describe how they intend to use ESSA grant funds in service of school and district plans for continuous improvement. The 2021-22 CIP Budget Narratives for Titles I-A, I-D, II-A, IV-A and IV-B (REAP/RLIS) opened on August 9th and were due November 1st.
The Federal Systems Team recognizes the multiple demands districts are currently experiencing and is committed to working in partnership to ensure that they receive all funds for which they are eligible. Some additional dates to track are included below:
- Carryover narratives open November 18, 2022 and are due Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
- Funds will be frozen for any district that has not submitted the 2022-23 CIP Budget Narrative by February 1, 2023.
- Funds will be liquidated for any district that has declined or has not applied for federal grants through the 2022-23 CIP Budget Narrative on June 1, 2023.
If your district has not yet submitted a particular narrative, please reach out to your regional specialist with questions or for support. Our team asks that any remaining Budget Narratives be submitted no later than December 19th to allow program specialists to review submissions in a timely manner prior to the holiday break.
