Navigating the Federal Landscape: ESSA Compliance, Fiscal Responsibility, and Strategic Planning for Federal Program Directors
Join the ESC 19 Federal Program Staff for an intensive technical assistance session designed to empower Federal Program Directors with the knowledge and tools necessary for effective program administration. This session will focus on the nexus between compliance-driven documentation and meaningful student outcomes.
Participants will engage in a comprehensive review of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) statutory requirements, with a specific lens on the 2026-2027 Consolidated Federal Grant Application. We will navigate the complexities of the Comprehensive Needs Assessment (CNA) and Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) alignment, ensuring that all federal expenditures are allowable, allocable, and reasonable under EDGAR (Education Department General Administrative Regulations). Whether you are managing Title I, Part A; Title II, Part A; or Title IV, Part A, this session provides the programmatic updates and fiscal oversight strategies essential for maintaining a status of "Low Risk" during TEA pathways to monitoring.
