  17. Check In • What were some of the most important data points? • Were there any IDOE procedures or policies that you found significant? • How are the data points and policies relevant or related to federal funding? • #INAdvisoryBoard @EducateIN

  18. Coordinating Funds • Here are some methods and terms for coordinating funds: • Braiding funds • Blending funds • Consolidating funds • Transferring funds NEA.org • #INAdvisory Board @EducateIN

  19. Braiding Funds • This model refers to a district that may use several funding streams for a single need.  • However, each funding stream maintains its own identity.  • Also, each funding stream must maintain the specific requirements of each grant. • #INAdvisoryBoard @EducateIN

  20. Blending Funds • Blending funds allows for more streamlined fiscal accounting. • Within a project, funds could be both blended (if authorized in statute) and braided. • By blending funds, the funding streams are combined for a single purpose and the identity of individual grants may be combined also. • #INAdvisoryBoard @EducateIN

  21. Transferring Funds • #INAdvisoryBoard @EducateIN

  22. Consolidating Funds • At a district level, an easy way to consolidate funds is by taking advantage of the new transfer options. • Contact your grant specialist for more information on how to consolidate funds best in your LEA. • #INAdvisoryBoard @EducateIN

  23. Check In • What is the difference between blending and braiding of funds? • What is an easy way to consolidate? • How can blending, braiding, and consolidating of funds be used for problem solving? • #INAdvisoryBoard @EducateIN
