  7. Sequestration • “Sequestration” or “the sequester” are terms used to describe the automatic budget cuts passed into law under the Budget Control Act (BCA) in August 2011. • Could go into effect January 2, 2013 • Impacts ESEA Title I and II, IDEA Part B and the CTE Grants • Worst-case scenario of 9.1% ($4.1 billion) in cuts assuming that FY 2013 funding levels are the same as FY 2012. • More info on the MDOE website under Commissioner’s Updates-stay tuned

  10. Title IC Program Update • No Program changes. • Continue to administer the new Migrant School Survey found on Maine Migrant Ed’s website. http://www.maine.gov/education/nclb/tic/MigrantEducationProgramForms.htm • Only submit to DOE those surveys that have indicated yes to all three questions. • Explicit directions found on the survey.

  11. Title IIA • None at this time.

  12. Title IID - Technology • No longer supported under NCLB • Can no longer transfer to Title IID • All transfers from 2011-12 must be obligated by September 30, 2012 • IID supplemental page is no longer required

  13. TITLE IIIGeneral Update • There are no program changes • Funding to Maine districts is about $50,000 less this year than last year: • 2012: $598,263 • 2013 Estimate: $545,005 For past funding allocations go to: http://www.maine.gov/education/esl/titleIII/index.html

  14. Title XMcKinney Vento • Homeless Education State Coordinator Jacinda Goodwin 207-624-6637 jacinda.goodwin@maine.gov • Fall Liaison Training Dates – TBA • Who attends? • Homeless Liaison (especially if they have not attended a training in the last two years) • Any additional school staff • Changes in Liaisons – submit name and contact information to the State Coordinator.

  15. REIMBURSEMENT UPDATES

  16. REIMBURSEMENT INVOICES • Share these slides with your Business Office Staff. • Watch for Billing Periods that overlap from one invoice to another, especially when transitioning from one fiscal year’s funds to another fiscal year’s fund. There may be times when this occurs, and we may follow up with a phone call before approving because some expenditures could have been invoiced twice. We have had some instances of this.

  17. REIMBURSEMENT INVOICES • If double invoicing occurs, the district would need to return funds back to the NCLB Clearinghouse along with a memo showing the amount and budget line object codes to which these funds need to be returned. • The NCLB Clearinghouse sends the check to the Dept. of Administrative & Financial Services and sends the memo to the Federal Reimbursement System programmers to have these funds added back into the system.

  18. REIMBURSEMENT • A district’s application must be fully submitted and certified by the SAU and approved by the State in order for the funding reimbursement line to be available to the Business Office. • If the funding line is not available to the Business Office, contact your local NCLB Coordinator to check on the application status. • SAUs should not have to call the State.

  19. REIMBURSEMENT It is important that the Business Manager and the NCLB Program Coordinator compare balances from the NCLB Performance Report and the Federal Reimbursement System. The balances may not match because: • there may be expenditures made with no request for reimbursement yet. • NCLB Performance Reports can be completed on an accrual basis and the reimbursement system is a cash basis. • However, you should be able to reconcile the differences in the ending balances.

  20. REIMBURSEMENT UPDATE • If the district is showing a $0 balance in the Reimbursement system but a carryover in the NCLB Performance Report, there is an issue. • If the NCLB Report shows $0 carryover but has a grant balance in the Reimbursement System that would be OK.

  25. By July 1, 2012 . . . • If operating any NCLB 2012 summer programming with 2011-2012 funds, notify janice.bunnell@maine.gov.

The private school would follow the Complaint Procedures if an issue arises.

  31. NEW EMAIL TRACKING FEATURE • For application and performance report, the SAU now has access to view emails sent to them when the State provides feedback or opens paperwork as requested by the SAU for amendments. The link is called: Process Tracking History and is located at the bottom of the NCLB Menu pages on both the Data Entry and Submission sides of the system.

  32. Program Contact Page • Homeless Liaison is new to the list of contacts. • Title IID and IV contacts have been eliminated. • Please take the time to ensure current contacts. This helps us communicate more efficiently and effectively.

  34.

  35. Title I Eligibility • Total enrollment in the district <1000; all schools are eligible • District has 1 building per grade level/grade span; all schools are eligible • School has a Free and Reduced lunch % > 35%; school is eligible • School has a Free and Reduced lunch % > than the district’s %; school is eligible

  36. Title IA Ranking & Distribution Rule • Any school above 75% poverty must be served before any consideration of serving lower poverty schools through grade span grouping. • As poverty levels increase, issues could arise with districts not serving their middle schools but serving lower poverty elementary schools. • Solution: Use only FREE lunch numbers on the R&D page in the poverty column.

  37. Changes to Title IA Served Schools • A Title I school that will not be served with Title I funds for the 2012-2013 school year will no longer be eligible for CIPS funding and support effective August 31, 2012. • If you will be adding Title I funds to a school for the first time and its school status for 2012-13 is CIPS1 or higher, then appropriate school reservations and district set-asides must be made in the FY13 application.
