FALL FORUM 2019

Managing risk also entails understanding compliance with EDGAR and the Uniform Grants Guidance (UGG), as well as the significant programmatic changes under ESSA, Perkins V, WIOA, AEFLA, IDEA and the Higher Education Act.

We will conduct two EDGAR pre-sessions on the morning of December 4. One session will be designed for staff of State Education Agencies, State Eligible Agencies and Pass-Through Entities. The targeted audience for the second EDGAR pre-session are subrecipients, including LEAs, institutions of higher education, charter schools, and community-based organizations.

We also will be conducting numerous programmatic sessions on Perkins V implementation, recent audit and monitoring findings in AEFLA and WIOA, recent ESSA guidance, including supplement not supplant and schoolwide consolidation, emerging IDEA issues, as well as updates on the HEA reauthorization. Inasmuch as the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Labor having effectively ceased to provide guidance on program implementation, you do not want to miss this opportunity to learn about the federal grants programs.
