Happy Monday, all!

I hope this email finds everyone well. I wanted to quickly share a few updates for those who have had questions.

FY2020 Three Circles and Incentive Grant Applications
All of these applications have been extended through June 30, 2021. To end the grant once all funds have been spent (and quit having to do expenditure and periodic reports), you will need to have your district submit the "Final Expenditure Report." I will send more specific instructions related to closing out of these grants in the next two weeks.

FY2021 Three Circles and Incentive Grant Applications
The initial applications will be sent out within the next two weeks. At the current moment your FY2021 allocation will be similar to FY2019 for Incentive and FY2020 for Three Circles due to Statewide decisions for all State grants resulting from the COVID situation. There is a possibility of later updates to allocations, I will keep everyone posted as needed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
