Title IV Data Collection

Public Reporting Data Collection
Federal law requires Local Education Agencies (LEAs) that receive Title IV, Part A funds to provide information on the expenditure of those funds. To meet federal public reporting requirements, grant recipients will be responsible for providing expenditure and progress data for the reporting periods of Fiscal Year 2018 through Fiscal Year 2021. Because we are now collecting expenditures by activity area on the Final Expenditure Report (FER), this is expected to be a one-time data collection.

To complete the data collection the LEA will report expenditures by activity area, and the LEAs progress towards meeting their program objectives in each area. The progress will be reported on a Likert scale. The reporting will be based on the federal award amount received in those years. For context, the survey will provide the total award amount for each Federal Award, by year, along with any expenditures reported on the FER by object code. You may also want to review the budget details page for each year to clarify the programs that were implemented with Title IV, Part A funds and any previously reported progress. Please collect any necessary information prior to starting the survey. The survey must be completed in one sitting.

We understand that there may be challenges in pulling this data due to staff changes and the use of the generic 599 code for Title IV, Part A. This data is for public reporting purposes, and not part of a program audit or federal report. Our expectation is that you provide as accurate of information as you can, given the challenges.

Transfers and Schoolwide Pooling
If the LEA transferred the full allocation to another grant or a schoolwide pool in any year, the expenditure data for that year will be blank. If the full allocation was transferred to another grant, please check the transfer box. You will not report Title IV, Part A expenditures for that year. If the funds were transferred to a schoolwide pool, please select the box indicating schoolwide pool for that year. Expenditures should be reported in the Title IV-A activity areas the LEA supported for that year.
