Tool Description
2
This tool is intended to provide local administrators of ESSA grant programs a one-stop checklist of tasks and timelines for the programs included in the Consolidated Application: Title I, Part A; Title I, Part D; Title II, Part A; Title III, Part A; Title IV, Part A; and Title V, Part B. Items are marked as either required or best practice along with links to additional resources. Space is provided for users to mark when a task has been completed. Note that many activities are common across multiple programs, such as Consolidated Application submission and fiscal reporting procedures. This tool is designed so that administrators of individual programs can use each program as a stand-alone list, but it is possible for administrators of multiple programs to combine lists as applicable.

Printable PDF versions of this tool can be found at the bottom of the ESEA Launchpad.

Tabs
4
All tasks are sorted onto different tabs by applicable Title program. Some tabs will have duplicate tasks if they apply to multiple Title programs.
The "All Tasks" tab lists every task on this tool for Title's I, II, III, IV, and V without duplication. This would be especially useful for smaller LEAs or administrators that oversee all Title programs. Title VI is not part of the Consolidated Application and is included as a separate sheet in this document. The final sheet includes notes to support preparation for and completion of Monitoring processes.
