TEA received a revised grant award from the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) which requires TEA to recalculate maximum entitlements for the 2014-2015 IDEA-B Formula program. You can find more information on the adjustment by clicking on the attached link
Not all school districts will receive an adjusted maximum entitlement.
Method of Revision
TEA staff will adjust the largest class/object code to account for the change in the maximum entitlement amount.
Affected LEAs will receive email notification of the changes TEA staff have made to their program budget. The revised Notice of Grant Award (NOGA) will be attached to that email.
Amendments
TEA will send out an email bulletin alerting LEAs when the revision process is complete. From now until that alert is distributed, TEA requests that LEAs stop submitting any amendments to claim IDEA-B Formula funding. Amendments for any other changes to the application may be submitted at any time.
Once TEA sends out its alert that the revision process is complete, affected LEAs may file an amendment to revise their budgets, if necessary. Please refer to the When to Amend the Application document on the Administering a Grant page of the TEA website to determine if an amendment is necessary.
As a reminder, the deadline to submit amendments is 5:00 p.m. Central Time, June 12, 2015.
