2021-2022 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application (Federal): IDEA-B Formula-ARP, IDEA-B Preschool-ARP
The purpose of this notice is to notify recipients of the 2021-2022 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application (Federal) of a change in process for this year.
TEA will release the following funds in mid-December 2021:
- IDEA-B Formula-ARP
- IDEA-B Preschool-ARP
- 2021-2022 IDEA-B Formula final amounts
- 2021-2022 IDEA-B Preschool final amounts
- 2020-2021 IDEA-B Formula carryover funds
- 2020-2021 IDEA-B Preschool carryover funds
No action is needed now; however, in mid-December when funds are released, LEAs will be required to amend their ADC to apply for the IDEA-B Formula-ARP and IDEA-B Preschool-ARP funds. For each of these ARP funding sources, you will be required to select the same designation as you did for the “regular” IDEA-B Formula and/or Preschool funds or “Not Apply at All.”
After certifying and submitting your amended ADC, LEAs will be required to complete and submit an amendment to the 2021-2022 Special Education Consolidated (Federal) Grant Application in eGrants to claim the funds listed above, as applicable. Once an amendment has been initiated, the funding will appear on the BS6001 – Program Budget Summary and Support Schedule in eGrants. You will then complete the program and budget schedules as appropriate, certify, and submit the amendment.
Additional information will be provided on the amendment process once the funding becomes available.
TEA will not be able to complete budget adjustments on behalf of the LEAs this year.
Planning amounts for the 2021-2022 IDEA-B fund sources, including the IDEA-B ARP funds, are posted on the TEA Entitlements webpage to assist you with budgeting for the use of these funds. Final amounts will be posted at a later date.
