ARP ESSER III Reallocation: Respond by 9/16 to accept funds!

ARP ESSER III Reallocation: Respond by 9/16 to accept funds!

September 11, 2024 | Grants Management
TEA has sent a survey through Smartsheets to charter districts who received ARP ESSER III grant funds. They are reallocating more funding, but in order to receive it, you need to respond to the survey by 9/16/24!  In Smartsheets you will indicate yes that you accept the funds and put which class object code (6100, 6200, etc) that you want the funds placed.
To see how much more funding you might receive, click here:

You can access the survey here: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/b1796cbbcea6405d92398dce86c30f06

Your amounts might be very small. If you select No on the survey or do not respond, you will not receive the funds. There are no negative repercussions for not taking it. Here are some things to consider:

  1. Do you have anything to reallocate to these funds according to your current ESSER III grant application?
  2. It is doubtful what you journal over to ESSER will count toward ESSA MOE, so it could possibly reduce your total operating once you take that expense out.  This could possibly cause you to miss MOE if the reduction is large enough.

If you decide to take it, the money must be obligated by 9/30, and liquidated (invoice paid and services received) by 12/28/24.
