Thank you joining us this morning! My name is Hunter Huffman and I’m a Project Coordinator with the RttT Program Management Office at NCDPI. Today we’ll be discussing closeout information for the RttT grant. Please feel free to submit questions which will be answered at the end of the presentation. 1 This presentation will cover information as it pertains to the RttT closeout process for the 68 LEAs and/or Charter Schools across the State that were approved for a NoCost Extension. (Review slides) 2 This slide provides an overview of key dates to be aware of as we approach the summer. As we go through the slides, each date will be discussed in greater detail. (Review slides) 3 First, we will discuss final DSW amendment submissions. It is important to note that April 15th is the last day to submit any final amendments. This date gives the Department time to follow-up with LEAs and/or Charter Schools on any issues related to the DSW or RttT budgets entered into the LBAAS system. (Review last point on slide) 4 Now we’ll review the DSW Amendment Approval Process. (Review slides) 5 Next, we’ll discuss Program Closeout for Activities. USED has granted the Department the ability to approve LEAs and Charter Schools No-Cost Extensions for the RttT work through June 30, 2015. The activities granted an extension had to be either: 1) work already in the DSW that the LEA/Charter needed more time to complete; or 2) new work aligned to activities the State was approved to complete during the No-Cost Extension period. (Review slides) 6 Next, we’ll go over the Program Closeout for Monitoring. Any LEA and/or Charter approved for a No-Cost Extension will complete a progress report as they have in the past years of RttT. (Review slides) 7 The last important dates we’ll be discussing today involve the Fiscal Closeout process. Across the State, there is $3.8 Million remaining of the original $165 Million in Local RttT Funds still left to spend (as of January 31). (Review Slides) 8 Here are just a couple general closeout reminders to be mindful of as the grant comes to an end. (Review slides) 9 Here is a list of key contact information you may need throughout the RttT Closeout. (Review slides) 10 To review, today we discussed key dates and information related to the RttT Program and Fiscal Closeout. Specifically, June 30th being the day all DSW activities must be completed by, and July 31st being the final day to pay RttT invoices and submit progress reports. For future reference, these slides are posted on the NCDPI RttT website under the webinars link. With that, we’ll go ahead and take any questions. . . Thank you for participating in our presentation this morning! That concludes our webinar for RttT Closeout. 11
