There was a recent error in the ePeGs system that was not allowing the FY10 ECSE ARRA carryover funds to pull onto the FY11 ECSE ARRA budget applications. We are pleased to report the error has been fixed in the ePeGs system. Districts are now able to submit FY11 ECSE ARRA budget applications and request payments for ECSE ARRA carryover funds. However, in order to access the FY11 application, the district must close out FY10. This includes submitting an FY10 application and FER, even if no funds were expended. In this instance, the district will just enter zero, save, and submit. Once the FY10 application and/or FER is approved by Division staff, any carry-over/unexpended funds will show on the FY11 application. After the FY11 application is approved by Division staff, the district may start to request payments on the ECSE ARRA carry-over funds.
