Reporting Deadlines
Reporting deadlines for programs approved in the 2009-2010 NCLB Consolidated Federal ARRA/Stimulus Grant Application are listed in the following table. A compliance report shown with an asterisk * is one report, which covers the regular NCLB programs and the ARRA/Stimulus NCLB programs. The U. S. Department of Education is developing guidance on the ARRA quarterly reporting requirements that will be available in the near future. LEAs that are awarded grants are responsible for meeting all required deadlines. Failure to meet deadlines may result in loss of funds and could cause the LEA to be identified as “high risk.”
