Title I Carryover Waiver
Contact: Diane Stuehmer (402-471-1740 or diane.stuehmer@nebraska.gov)
Nebraska has received, from the United States Department of Education, a waiver of Section 1127(b) of Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Act of 1965 (ESEA) for one additional year.
For districts that received a 2011-12 Title I-A allocation that exceeded $50,000 (current funds), this will allow a waiver of the 15% carryover limitation more than once every three years if the reason is due to the supplemental Title I, Part A appropriation provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). In other words, if a district has had a Title I-A carryover waiver in the past three years, and needs one when closing out the 2011-12 school year, due ARRA funds, the waiver is allowable.
Districts will be able to request a carryover waiver, through the Grants Management System (GMS), when submitting the final reimbursement request for 2011-12. This will be done by marking the appropriate box on the request.
Keep in mind that districts applying for a Title I-A carryover waiver when closing out the 2011-12 school year, will not be eligible for another waiver until closing out the 2014-15 school year.
REMINDER Substitute Teachers in the Consolidated Data Collection
Contact: NDE Helpdesk (888-285-0556 or nde.helpdesk@nebraska.gov)
This data collection will permit you to upload/enter data regarding substitute teachers that have already been employed during the 2011-12 school year and receive feedback on any data errors or potential violations by your school if the individual does not currently hold a valid Nebraska certificate. By uploading/entering data now, your school will have sufficient time to correct any errors or potential violations to ensure that any substitute teachers hold a valid Nebraska certificate before the data collection closes on June 30, 2012. Needs to be completed by ESUs, Public, Nonpublic, State Operated and Interim Programs.
Statistics & Facts about Nebraska Schools
Contact: NDE Helpdesk (888-285-0556 or nde.helpdesk@nebraska.gov)
The publishing of 2011-2012 Statistics & Facts about Nebraska Schools report will be delayed as NDE is looking into an alternate approach in providing these reports more effectively. The reports from the previous years until 2010/2011 can still be accessed at http://www.education.ne.gov/DataServices/Data_and_Information.html
