To the GovDelivery subscriber addressed:

News from the Grants Administration Division

This message communicates information concerning upcoming adjustments to applicable 2017-2018 IDEA-B Formula and IDEA-B Preschool programs, including final amount and carryover amount adjustments by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Final Amounts including 2016-2017 Carryover

Final amounts for programs in the 2017-2018 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application are now available on the Grants Administration Division Federal Entitlements web page.

TEA staff will initiate budget adjustments to the largest budgeted class/object code to incorporate the final amounts and any carryover amounts. The LEA’s approved budget, reflected on Schedule BS6006—Program Budget Summary of the 2017-2018 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application for each respective program, will be the combination of the LEA’s current-year final amount and prior-year carryover amount, if applicable.

Once the adjustment process is completed, grantees will receive email notifications of revisions to program budgets with their revised Notice of Grant Award (NOGA) attached to that email.  Until those email notifications and attachments are distributed, TEA requests that LEAs not submit any amendments to claim 2017-2018 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application final amount funding. Amendments for any other changes to the application may be submitted at any time.

Amendments

If necessary, once it receives email notification of the revised budget and NOGA, an LEA or ESC may file an amendment to revise the budget entered by TEA staff. Please refer to When to Amend the Application on the Administering a Grant page of the TEA website to determine if an amendment is necessary.

The deadline to submit amendments is 5:00 p.m. Central Time, June 15, 2018.

If you have any questions, please submit a request through the TEA Help Desk.
