On December 16, 2015, the Texas Education Agency announced that a report has been made available showing the amount of federal carryover funds that have been available to school districts and open-enrollment charter schools.
Your federal carryover amount report is now available through TEAL in the GFFC Reports and Data Collections secure application.
Also, the TEA announcement contains important information clarifying “What are excess carryover amounts for federal grants?
TEA considers the following carryover amounts excessive:
- 50 percent or more, for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B) formula grant funds
- 25 percent or more, for grants authorized under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) and other IDEA grant funds
Also, TEA alerted school officials that excess carryover amounts may cause the LEA to be identified as high risk under Section 200.205 of Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and potentially subject to additional monitoring activities and certain sanctions relating to the future award of federal funds.
