From michael.wiltfong at state.or.us Fri Dec 9 09:50:48 2011 From: michael.wiltfong at state.or.us (WILTFONG Michael) Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2011 09:50:48 -0800 Subject: [Busmgrs] American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Section 1512 Reporting Due - District Deadline of 12/31/11 Message-ID: TO: Oregon School District Superintendents; School District Business Managers; Grant Managers FR: Sue MacGlashan, Assistant Superintendent - Office of Finance and Administration (ODE) RE: American Recovery and Reinvestment Act - Section 1512 Reporting Due - District Deadline of 12/31/11 It is time once again for your submission of data required by Section 1512 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The good news is this will be the final quarter of reporting for many of the ARRA grants! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your participation. You have been a key part of the state's success in implementing the ARRA program quickly and in accordance with the federal requirements, including the Section 1512 reporting requirements. As you probably are aware, data on the use of ARRA funds by recipients (i.e., the state) and sub-recipients (i.e., local educational agencies and other entities receiving funds through the state) are due to the federal government no later than the 10th day after the end of each calendar quarter. The state's due date for the current quarter's reporting to the federal government is January 10, 2012. For the state to meet the federal deadline, ODE's sub-recipients will have to submit their data to ODE by December 31, 2011. No waivers can be granted for Section 1512 reporting; it is mandatory. As with previous rounds of reporting, ODE will collect the required information for each grant ODE has made to its sub-recipients and the state will report these data to the federal government on your behalf. ODE's data collection tool - entitled "Recovery Act Reporting Collection" - opened on Thursday, December 1. Please note that your reporting needs to include data on your ARRA activities through December 31, 2011. To assist you with reporting, there is a button entitled "Pre-Populate FTE and Infrastructure Data with Previous Quarter's Data and Save" that - when selected - will pre-populate the collection and save with the previous quarter's data on job impact and infrastructure. If there are no changes from your previous submission, your data have been saved and you can exit the collection. Or the pre-populate feature can be used as your starting point if you need to make changes; i.e., you can pre-populate and then simply update only those fields needing revisions, such as FTE amounts or "Jobs Impact Methodology." When you are finished with your edits, hit the "Save" button when ready to submit and this will overwrite any previous data entries. The date and time stamp will be updated each time the "Save" button is pushed. Updates Made Previously to ODE's Collection Tool: 1. No changes have been made to the collection tool since last quarter's reporting cycle. 2. As noted in earlier communications, ODE added a "Payment Date" field for dates related to vendor payments. This assists us in our review of the discreet individual vendor payments reported. The completion of this field is required when reporting vendor payments. Vendor information isn't cumulative and you only need to report vendor payments during the current quarter. For your reference, here is a link to ODE's FAQ document on Section 1512 reporting. http://stimulus.k12partners.org/content/frequently-asked-questions-about-reporting-under-american-recovery-and-reinvestment-act-20-0 Also for your reference, listed below are the ODE contacts for each ARRA grant.

I want to remind everyone the 2012-13 Estimate of Membership and Revenue collection closes at the end of the day today and I can see there are some districts that still have not completed their estimates. I would like to urge everyone to get their collections completed today so that we can begin the next steps in the process to produce estimates for 2012-13. Some districts have raised concerns regarding accuracy of the estimates, especially in light of open enrollment. On an individual basis I can work with the district to get more accurate information later. However, I would prefer that districts provide the information they have at this time knowing that it can be updated with better information later. Thank you for your help. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Specifically you want to know which weights will be assigned to charter schools and which weights will be assigned to the district as a whole. The good news is that draft rules explaining how weights are going to be assigned have been filed with the Secretary of State. The draft rules should be available for viewing on January 3, 2012, at the following website: http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/pages/rules/bulletin/index.html I encourage everyone to read the rules and provide comments. The more information and feedback we get the better we can provide clarity on this issue. Also this will allow us to better implement HB 3417 and meet the deadline of full implementation with the 2011-12 school year. Thank you for your comments and assistance.

I want to say thank you to the 62% of districts that have already submitted their data for the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund and Ed Jobs programs. I know many of you are planning to take some time off over the holidays and I just wanted to remind the remaining districts of this very important reporting requirement. I know many of you are very busy with end-of-year work, so your cooperation is very much appreciated. If you should have any questions, please let us know. I would like to close by saying thank you for all of your hard work this past year and I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
