URL: From Debby.Ryan at state.or.us Wed Feb 11 10:57:20 2009 From: Debby.Ryan at state.or.us (RYAN Debby) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:57:20 -0800 Subject: [Busmgrs] FW: Function Code Guidance for IDEA SPR&I Grants Message-ID: Yesterday the question came up about which Function code to use with the SPR&I grant. The SPR&I Annual Sub Grant description was sent to me and is attached above. After calling a few districts, I discovered that they are not using the correct Function code. It appears most districts are using 1250 - Special Education Student Instruction which would be appropriate for most IDEA grants. But SPR&I is for training regarding collection and interpretation of data, development and implementation of an improvement plan, and evaluation of impact and effectiveness of improvement strategies. This has nothing to do with Special Education Student Instruction. In fact, it has nothing to do with Improvement of Instruction Services (Function 2210) or Instructional Staff Development (Function 2240). The correct Function codes to use are either 2190 - Service Direction, Student Support Services or 2620 - Planning, Research, Development, Evaluation Services, Grant Writing and Statistical Services or one of the sub codes like 2622, 2623, etc. which roll to 2620. I hope this is helpful.

You will find a summary of the expected overall increase in funding, what the Maintenance of Effort will be, and the issues of supplement/supplant. This information came to us from a very credible source (Council of State Chief School Officers) and is the clearest description I have seen to date. This will not answer all of your questions but will give you a start on thinking about the funding. The Department is awaiting a fuller explanation from the federal offices, but we do not expect much until next week. From all that we hear, we assume that the funding will be part of your regular IDEA flow through allocation, but we are still uncertain of even that. Know that we will continue to send relevant information as we receive it. Thanks for all you do. This is a very busy and very difficult time for all of us. Keep in touch and stay strong!!!

Oh my..... Time is running out, but there are still 34 audit/CAFR's that are not reconciled with the Actuals electronic submissions. There are 20 on my desk that have known problems. Please, please get your district reconciled and corrected. There are 2 districts that need to only submit their Actuals data. There are 4 districts that I am waiting for your audit/CAFRs and your Actuals. There are 2 districts that have submitted their electronic data, but not their audit/CAFR. I will work on the remaining 6 ESD reconciliations that ODE hasn't finished yet. There are 8 districts that need to send in their Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards that balances with the audited federal revenues. There are 3 districts that need to send in their 3211-C forms and 2 districts that need to send in their 10/3/07 PERS UAL Bond information and one that needs to clarify their bond information. Some of you are expressing a sigh of relief that you are not on one of the lists above. Everything closes down on Friday, February 27 to prepare the federal reports. Thank you to those who have everything in and correct. Please make sure that your electronic Actuals submission matches your audit or CAFR. From the ODE District Website at https://district.ode.state.or.us/ login, Consolidated Collections and run 'Reports'. Go to Actual Revenues>FallActRev07-08>ACTUALS Ending Fund Balances and REVENUES by Fund and Source. And Actual Expenditures>FallActExp07-08>EXPENDITURES by Fund and Function and EXPENDITURES by Fund and Object. To print the Reports, right click on the Report and click on 'print'. Change the page to 'landscape' and print. Now you are ready to compare these four Reports to your audit/CAFR on the Budget Basis. Let me know if you need to make corrections and I will re-open the Actuals Collections for your district. If everything looks good, please [Verify Submission]. From the ODE District Website at https://district.ode.state.or.us/ login and go to Consolidated Collections. Scroll down and see Consolidated Collections Status Tracking. Locate Actual Expenditures 07-08 and Actual Revenues 07-08. Click on the green checkmark. Scroll down and click on [Verify Submission] in the top left corner of a new window which opens up. The collection should now have a date/time stamp with your name and the number of records verified.
