2024-2025 ESSA Consolidated Federal Grant Application Correction

The following correction to the 2024-2025 ESSA Consolidated Federal Grant Application—which only affects LEAs that have Private Nonprofit school participation for Title I, Part A, as well as Title II, Part A and/or Title IV, Part A—is scheduled to be in production on June 27, 2024:

  • An edit that cross-checked the LEA enrollment data entered on the PS3099 and SC3099 for these programs with the LEA enrollment data entered on the SC5000 will be removed. The LEA enrollment data entered for these programs on the PS3099 and SC3099 should be restricted to students ages 5-17.  The LEA enrollment data listed on the SC5000 may be more inclusive.  The new version of the application in eGrants will no longer require the two schedules to match.

What to Do?

If an affected LEA has already submitted its 2024-2025 ESSA Consolidated Federal Grant Application, it may be necessary to correct the LEA enrollment number that was entered on the PS3099 for Title II, Part A and Title IV, Part A.  For purposes of calculating the correct equitable services amounts, these amounts may only include students who are ages 5-17.  The LEA may contact its TEA grant negotiator in order correct this information during the negotiation process.

If an affected LEA still has its application in draft status, the LEA can ensure that the correction has been applied to the application schedule by reopening the schedule on June 27 or later and saving the schedule to trigger the corrected functionality. 

LEAs that are part of a Shared Services Arrangement for all programs and submit an SC3099 may also need to revisit the LEA enrollment numbers they submitted for Title II, Part A and Title IV, Part A.

If an affected LEA has not yet started its application in eGrants, the corrected functionality should be in place when the LEA first opens its application, and there should be no extra steps to take.
