Updates to Reporting Toolkit
text3
The AEBG Office made minor updates to several documents in the Reporting Toolkit. These changes were made based on feedback from the field to debug issues within them. Throughout this first year, documents may be subject to revisions as the AEBG office works to create documents and processes that will work for the future.  
  • Annual Plan Template - updated to reflect changes in Workbooks (see below)
  • Annual Plan Guidance - updated to reflect changes in Workbooks (see below)
  • Workbooks for Sections 3 & 5 in Annual Plan - added and corrected Table 3.2 (indirect)
    • Changes were made to reflect the MOE indirect, which is based on the CDE approved indirect cost rate. See the CDE Indirect Rate Webpage for your district's rate.
    • The Consortia indirect remains the same--capped at 5% for the entire allocation.
    • 10.28.15 Changes were made to Table 3.2 to clarify MOE indirect and Consortia indirect
  • Workbook for Section 6 in Annual Plan - added new performance workbook and removed Pell Grant measurement as a requirement (now optional)
    • 10.28.15 - Performance Table 6.2 - corrected calculation error
  • Appropriation Agreement Form - revised numbering system for last 12 consortia because we have a new consortium (Siskiyous). We would like the numbers to be consistent, so we aligned them with the three-year plan number. Please double check and download the most current form. Minor edits to the agreement form will be made and posted later this week.
  • Indirect Cost Rates for MOE - added a link to the CDE webpage for Indirect Cost Rates under the Funding section for Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Allocations. This page includes a FAQs section.
