ISBE Update - Deadline for Final FY 2019 Grant Amendments and End Date Extensions

Tim Imler from ISBE has been kind enough to send IAASE some great information about upcoming grant information for our members.

Final FY19 budget amendments for IDEA Part B as well as all other state or federal grants must be received at ISBE (submitted via the electronic Grants Management System) no later than 30 calendar days prior to the end date of the project.

As a reminder, please be advised of the following regarding the need for a project end date extension:

• An end date extension past June 30 is NOT needed to pay obligations (e.g., purchase order for supplies) incurred June 30 or prior.
• An end date extension past June 30 IS NEEDED for new activities and obligations incurred July 1 or later (e.g., Summer School, Professional Development).

Final amendments for state and federal grants with a project end date of June 30, 2019, must be received by ISBE no later than May 31, 2019. The last day amendments will be accepted for grants with a project end date of August 31, 2019, is August 1, 2019.
