Final Entitlement Amounts are available for the 2023–2024 Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Consolidated Federal and the 2023–2024 Special Education Consolidated (Federal) Grant Applications

Final amounts for programs in the 2023–2024 ESSA Consolidated Federal and the 2023–2024 Special Education Consolidated (Federal) Grant Applications are now available on TEA’s Entitlements web page.

On the entitlements’ web page, there is a PDF version of the entitlements amounts, and they are also integrated into the interactive entitlements’ dashboards. The “master” dashboard allows LEAs to see all their entitlement amounts for all federal and state grants. The data is organized by grant programs and the applications LEAs use apply for the funds (ESSA Consolidated Federal, Special Education Consolidated Federal and State, Title V, Part B, Subpart 2, Rural and Low Income School Program, Title I, 1003 School Improvement Grant Program, and Perkins V) and is easily sortable by a variety of filters, including LEA name, county-district number, and ESC region. Additional dashboards, accessible through the bottom scroll bar, show data for only one application at a time.  The individual dashboards for 2023–2024 ESSA Consolidated Federal and 2023–2024 Special Education Consolidated Federal reflect the final amounts.

As a reminder, local educational agencies (LEAs) will not be able to apply for their final entitlements at this time. To reduce the administrative burden, LEAs will instead be able to submit one amendment to apply for their final entitlements, carryover, and any reallocation amounts when they are announced in February. This new timeline for LEAs receiving and applying for final amounts, and carryover is caused by the new federal requirement for a longer liquidation period on federal funds.

TEA will send a separate notification when LEAs can submit amendments to apply for final entitlements, carryover, and any reallocation amounts. TEA anticipates sending the notification regarding the availability of carryover and any reallocation amounts by end of February.
