Post Award Compliance

Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) and Education Service Centers (ESCs), including school districts and open-enrollment charter schools, must follow applicable statues, regulations and non-regulatory guidance when utilizing federal and state grant funding. The Post-Award Compliance Unit reviews grant applications to identify compliance issues related to programmatic and budgetary details post-award.  If issues of non-compliance are identified, the Post-Award Compliance Unit assists Local Education Agencies (LEAs) and Education Service Centers (ESCs) in resolving the issue via an amendment.
