Title IV Special Data Collection Due Dec 1, 2024
Do Comparability, Title IV, and ESSER reporting have you feeling spooked? With all the federal reporting going on these next several months, ghosts and goblins might not be the only scary things in your world! Don’t worry! CSS is here with all the information to make reporting less tricky. Today’s article is about the Title IV Special Data Collection that is coming soon if you receive Title IV funds through the ESSA grant. Even if you transfer your Title IV funds out of Title IV, action is required, so please read on to learn all about it.
The federal team at CSS has the combined knowledge of both federal program requirements and day-to-day financial implementation in order to fully comprehend the Title IV reporting requirements, and we relieve the burden for our partner schools!
The Title IV Special Data Collection report is due Dec 1, 2024, and is open now in the Federal Program Compliance Smartsheet Workapp system. You will see 5 links on the left if you had Title IV grant funds since the 2022-23 school year.
Training was held online by TEA on Oct 8 and Oct 23, and one session remains on Nov 13, 2024 at 2:00. Registration is available here: Zoom Registration Link
What information is being reported by Dec 1?
The data that you will need to complete the report is:
- Final progress on reported 2022-23 Program Objectives and Intended Measurable Outcomes (previously submitted March 2023) – Look at what was previously submitted and see if it can now be marked final.
- 2022-23 Title IV expenditures on 2022-23 carry over, if any. (Previously submitted March 2023)
- 2023-24 Initial Expenditures by service/content area. (Previously submitted Dec 2023)
- 2023-24 Initial Progress of OMOs (Previously submitted Dec 2023)
- 2024-25 Title IV OMOs for the current year – These do not have to be the same as previous year’s; however, OMOs for any 2023-24 carry over left must still follow prior year OMOs.
You will see responses from previous submissions that have carried over. You have the ability to change or correct previous submissions until you report them final; however, you should only change previously reported data in rare situations. Expenditures from carry over must be reported in the original grant distribution year! For example, when reporting expenditures for year 2023-24, do not include carry over from 2022-23.
Where can I find more information?
In addition to the training links above, please refer to the Title IV Reporting presentation.
At the time of publication of this article, TEA had not yet updated its Title IV webpage, but it will be updated in the near future.
Please note that your OMOs and progress on the OMOs will be publicly reported to USDE and on TEAs website. Comments will also be published publicly unless you opt not to have comments included in the reporting submission.
Due Date: December 1, 2024
