Title I, Part A 1003 School Improvement - School Closures

Question	Answer
1. If we applied for and were awarded a competitive grant, are we able to amend our grant and budget to address immediate needs?	Amended costs could be considered so long as they meet the objectives of the approved grant plan. Proposed amended expenditures would also need to be reasonable and necessary.
2. Will the deadline be extended for 1003 School Improvement Funds, especially since there is no carryover?	GaDOE will extend awards which were active as of March 31, 2020 and scheduled to expire prior or up to December 31, 2020 (FY19 funding), automatically at no cost for a period up to twelve (12) months. This will allow time for grantee assessments, the resumption of many individual projects, and a report on program progress and financial status to be completed and submitted. Project-specific financial and performance reports will be due 90 days following the end date of the extension. FY20 funds will continue to be available for the duration of the 27-month period of availability (July 1, 2019 to September 30, 2021).
