3. 10% Hold-Back What does this mean?
GA Dept of Ed required each Dept to reduce their funding by 10%
CTAE has no indication if these funds will be restored at a later date

4. FY10 Grant Application & Budget
The Accountability unit is currently reviewing grant applications by system
If grants are rejected, refer to the Audit Trail for directions on making corrections
Refer to the revised Budget Guidance (06/25/09) to assist you in budgeting your funds
All FY10 grant applications & budgets must be completed and signed-off by September 30, Systems that do not comply will lose their funding.

5. PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT GRANT
Can systems use the 100 & 200 object code categories when budgeting their funds?
Generally no (there may be some exceptions to this rule, but prior state approval is required)
Why should these codes not be used?
Perkins IV funds are for Program Improvement and not for paying salaries

6. CORE INDICATORS What impact do Core Indicators have on funding?
Negotiated Levels of Performance for FY10 & FY11
Current Performance Level
Systems must meet at least 90% of their “System (agreed on) Adjusted Level of Performance.”
