The District does have procedures in place for submitting accurate and timely reports to ISBE. The ESSER program was, hopefully, a one-time event in response to a national pandemic crisis. The District believes its expenses were accurately reported and appropriately used to address the needs of our students, especially with respect to addressing learning loss. To the extent that some expenses were considered not timely filed, we believe they met the intents and purposes of the program, and were filed in accordance with accepted protocols in place at the time. In any event, the District will reiterate with staff the necessity to follow procedures, including submission of timely expense reports with the ISBE.
Anticipated Date of Completion: This will be ongoing for all further grant expenditure report submissions.
