2023–2024 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application (Federal) Revised Final Amounts with 2022–2023 Carryover and Additional Funding Amounts Now Available
Revised final amounts for programs in the 2023–2024 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application (Federal) are now available on the Entitlements page.
The entitlements dashboards display entitlement amounts for all federal formula grants, which are calculated by TEA according to federal formulas. The “master” dashboard allows LEAs to see their entitlement amounts for all federal and state grants. The data is organized by grant programs and the applications LEAs use to apply for the funds (ESSA Consolidated Federal; SPED 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.
Final Amounts, Carryover, and Additional Funding
Along with the release of 2023–2024 revised final amounts and 2022–2023 carryover, TEA is distributing a portion of state-level IDEA-B funds to LEAs for one-time additional funding to support special education. The additional funding must be used in accordance with IDEA-B and the 2023–2024 SPED Consolidated (Federal) Program Guidelines. This is not a reallocation of LEA formula funds.
The additional funding and any 2022–2023 carryover must be used by September 30, 2024, and will not be extended.
TEA staff will initiate adjustments to the largest budgeted class/object code to incorporate the final amounts, any carryover amounts, and the additional funding. The grantee’s approved budget, reflected on Schedule BS6001 — Program Budget Summary, will be the sum of the final amount (Line 3), applicable carryover amount (Line 4), and additional funding (Line 5).
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 grantees not submit any amendments.
Amendments
If necessary, once the grantee has received email notification of the revised budget and NOGA, the grantee may file an amendment to revise the budget entered by TEA staff. Please refer to When to Amend the Application on the TEA website to determine whether an amendment is necessary.
The deadline to submit amendments is 5:00 p.m. Central Time, June 3, 2024.
