Gun-Free Schools (GFS) Report Available

The Gun-Free Schools (GFS) Report for 2023-2024 is now available under the Compliance Reports tab on eGrants. 

Submission of the Gun-Free Schools Report - District (PR6000) is required of all LEAs that request any federal funds in 2024-2025 for any of the programs authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).  This includes any program in the ESSA Consolidated, School Improvement, and Rural and Low-Income Schools grant applications.  If an LEA does not submit its Gun-Free Schools Report, TEA cannot issue NOGAs for the LEA’s federal grants.

A campus level report (PR6100) is required only for campus(es) that had a gun related incident.

The due date for the district and campus report(s), if applicable, is June 29, 2024.

If reports are not submitted by the due date, LEAs will be contacted to come into compliance before NOGAs can be released.

The following links will provide you with the instructions for completing the district and campus reports, if applicable:
