A Reminder from Grants Finance:

By the end of May, Grants Finance anticipates informing each local agency in writing of its 2008-09 indirect cost rate. In the meantime, we recommend that local agencies use their 2007-08 indirect cost rates as a placeholder while planning their 2008-09 grant budgets and activities.

4/16/08 - NCLB Title V, Part A - Innovative Programs

For 2008-09, the federal government has reduced funding for Title V, Part A - Innovative Programs to zero. As a result, in 2008-09 local educational agencies will not receive Title V allocations, but those with carryover funds from 2007-08 will be able to apply in the NCLB Consolidated Application to use them. Alternatively, LEAs may choose to expend all available funds in 2007-08. To ensure that LEAs make maximum use of their Title V funds, the Department encourages those responsible for Title V programs to work closely with their business offices to obligate and spend all funds available to them as part of their 2007-08 or 2008-09 budgets. To verify the amount of Title V, Part A funds available to an LEA, please go to our REPORTS page.
