HiCap Apportionment for 2021–22 Ends August 31, 2022

Your district apportionment period for HiCap allowable expenditures is from September 1, 2021, through August 31, 2022. There is no carryover provision for these funds. Contact Jody Hess with questions about allowability of expenditures for HiCap apportionment.

Summer professional learning opportunities are allowable expenditures for any educator working with HiCap and advanced learners. HiCap funds can be used in summer to stipend staff who work with advanced learners for curriculum work, PLCs, HiCap student activities and other allowable activities. Be aware that registration for activities conducted after August 31, 2022, will be paid from 2022–23 apportionment.
