Federal Programs Financial Management Updates

Please make sure the free and reduced lunch information reported on Screen 15 and the January enrollment data on Screen 16 of the February Core Data cycle is accurate.  We will calculate the estimated 2008-2009 Title I allocation for LEAs serving an area with a total population of less than 20,000 using the alternative data method approved by the State Board of Education.  Since the Federal Programs Headcount free/reduced lunch information from Screen 15 of the Core Data Collection system and the January Enrollment counts are used as part of the alternative data, I would encourage districts to make sure that their data is correct. 

The September enrollment data on Screen 16 which is collected in the October cycle is used in your allocation calculation for other federal programs.  I would encourage districts to make sure this data is correct.

On April 1, we will copy the data from these screens to calculate federal program allocations.  Errors on reporting this data could result in a decrease in your federal programs allocations.  If you are having difficulty making these changes before the end of March, please contact Pat Kaiser at Pat.Kaiser@dese.mo.gov or 573-751-8643 immediately.  We will try to assist you to get accurate data submitted.
