2 Louisiana Believes Objective: The Department is providing districts increased support in preparation for the school year. As districts plan for the school year, the Department will provide three key types of support. 1.The District Planning Guide will frame the key decisions districts make and illustrate the Department-produced resources that will support this decision- making. 2.The District Planning Calls will be a place where the Department shares key information about how districts can use the available resources to make the decisions cataloged in the guide. 3.The Network teams will support districts use of the tools within planning processes. Welcome

District Planning Support Louisiana Believes 3 Focus Areas for : Leader & Teacher Learning Targets Assessment/ Curriculum School & Teacher Collaboration Observation/Feedback Aligning Funds Planning guide provides districts support in preparation for the school year Description of what excellent districts do Key dates Available resources Questions for consideration during planning Network Support: Cross-district planning meetings in January and February Resources for using funding flexibilities to implement district priorities Follow-up support as needed

4 Louisiana Believes WHAT: The District Planning Guide is a tool for planning that can be used by districts in a variety of ways. It is designed to support district decision making around key focus areas to improve instruction and learning. WHY: Each district’s approach to planning is unique and requires focus most relevant to district needs. This guide was created to elevate key milestones, Department resources, and decisions for consideration. This information is intended to help districts identify the planning priorities most relevant to their district. HOW: Districts may choose to use the guide in whole or parts. The questions and resources suggested by the guide can be considered by the District Planning Team and, if desired, supported by the Network Teams. District Planning Guide

Align Resources MILESTONEDECISIONS FOR CONSIDERATION Determine needs and associated costs across focus areas (Determine by April)  Across all the focus areas, aggregate all the district level needs for next year.  Estimate costs for all items to be purchased. Determine what funds are available across the district and their associated flexibilities (Determine by May)  Use the Department’s financial dashboard for your district and other district level tools to determine all sources of funds available and how these funds are being spent.  Determine which current expenditures can be discontinued. Align available funds to needs (Complete Unified Application by June 13)  Review Use of Funds guidance to determine allowable uses for each source of funds.  Determine how to fund each of the needs identified, braiding funds where possible.  Use Unified Application to apply for federal funds and state grants. The Planning Guide highlights how the resources we are providing assist you in this work.

District Financial Dashboard: What funds are available and how have we been using them? What is the District Financial Dashboard? LDOE has developed this dashboard to support your academic planning process by providing a: Summary of Expenditure data as reported by districts to LDE Listing of Grant Award amounts Summary of how grant funds are budgeted to support Classroom Support Strategies. How does the District Financial Dashboard support the planning process? Consolidates complex information from multiple financial reports Provides a starting point to facilitate a conversation about how money is spent

7 Louisiana Believes Historical expenditures and current grant funds available Details on current Unified Application budget Details on current Title I School Level Funding The district financial dashboard provides:

Funding Flexibilities LDOE has taken efforts to reduce burdens and provide Louisiana’s educators with increased flexibilities. The efforts include: Redesigning state oversight mechanisms to reduce burden (i.e. eGMS Unified Application Design, Consolidated Monitoring) Eliminating burdensome planning requirements that do not add value Revising the use of funds guidance Flexibilities allows districts to: Support transition to higher curriculum standards Support teacher evaluation Prepare for college and readiness assessments Offer arts education Provide rewards for highly effective teachers Improve school climate Increase parent and community engagement

Managing Risk How does LDOE manage risks associated with fiscal flexibility? Point-of-contact support and budget alignment tools Pre-Award Controls Unified Application review and approval process Request for Funds LDOE’s goal in managing risk Provide opportunities for flexible use of federal funds while ensuring Louisiana’s LEAs are in compliance with all applicable state and federal regulations Ensure Louisiana’s LEAs are aware of any risk associated with proposed budget and activities Coming Soon Clear guidance on the program specific impacts of supplement not supplant Comprehensive listing of compliance considerations

Use of Funds: How can we use different funding sources to support our priorities? What information does the Use of Funds guidance provide? Examples of how different funding sources can be used to support priorities Information on each grant program How does Use of Funds guidance support planning? Provides info-graphics that demonstrate how available grant funds can support your academic priorities Provides guidelines that establish the parameters for use of funds Provides program specific descriptions that support the alignment of available funding sources to priority activities

11 Louisiana Believes List of funding sources at the top with a check mark to indicate whether example activities may be allowable The info-graphics provide:

Unified Application: How do we apply for and align available funds to needs? What is the Unified Application? The Unified Application is the consolidation of 30+ grant applications into one process that allows schools districts to plan based on district needs. How does the Unified Application support planning? Promotes alignment between your academic priorities and financial resources Increases opportunities to braid funding sources One-stop-shop for all grant management functions

13 Louisiana Believes The Unified Application provides: Details on how your budgets support your priorities

Planning and Budgeting Support: Supporting the Plan What planning and budgeting support is being provided? Network Teams, NCLB, IDEA and fiscal points-of-contact are available to support your needs throughout the planning phase How will LDOE’s support assist your planning process? Provide technical guidance to help you achieve maximum flexibility as you develop your plan and budget Provide support to help you achieve compliance with all applicable rules and regulations
