News from the Grants Administration Division

This message communicates information concerning adjustments to the one-time supplemental funding amounts of applicable 2017-2018 IDEA-B Formula and IDEA-B Preschool grants by the Texas Education Agency (TEA).

Revised Amounts including Supplemental Funding

Revised one-time supplemental funding amounts for the IDEA-B Formula and IDEA-B Preschool programs in the 2017-2018 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application are now available on the TEA Federal Entitlements page. The LEA’s IDEA-B Formula and IDEA-B Preschool revised supplemental funding amounts will be in the applicable Final Amount cells of the 2017-2018 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application, BS6006-Program Budget Summary and Support.

TEA staff will initiate budget adjustments to the largest budgeted class/object code to incorporate the revised supplemental 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 amount and the revised supplemental amount.

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 revised supplemental funding.

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 17, 2019.

Extended Period of Obligation

As a reminder, the ending dates of the 2017-2018 IDEA-B Formula and Preschool grants were extended to September 30, 2019. Final and revised final expenditure reports will be due October 30, 2019.

No Carryover Funds

Because the 2017-2018 IDEA-B Formula and Preschool grants were extended through September 2019, none of the awarded funds will carry over to a subsequent grant period. All unexpended funds will lapse.

For Further Information

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