GEER Year 3 Proposed Changes

Summary of GEER Year 3 (Fiscal Year 2022) Form Changes:

All of the changes to the Year 3 GEER form are related to the transition from FY21 reporting to FY22 reporting

Question 1.1, State Fiscal Years – This question was updated to reflect that grantees will be completing their third year of reporting for CARES GEER and their second year for CRRSA GEER.

Question 2, Direct Expenditures by Governors – This question was updated to remove 2.a and 2.b from the Year 2 form that asked about Direct Expenditures by the Governor in the prior reporting period. This question was included in last years form because Direct Expenditures were not captured in the Year 1 GEER form. This question is no longer needed. 2.d and 2.c have been updated to reflect the FY22 reporting period

Questions 9.b, 10.b, and 12.b – The language of these question has been updated to reflect that grantees should report total prior expenditures from the past 2 reporting periods. (e.g. reporting periods vs. reporting period)

Questions 9.d, 11.b, and 13.b – This question has been updated to capture ‘Total GEER II Expenditures in Prior Reporting Period’. While GEER I prior reporting period expenditures were captured in last years form, we did not capture GEER II prior expenditures because GEER II expenditures weren’t possible in the Year 1 reporting period.

Question 15 and 16 – In last year’s form, this question only captured information about the 2020-2021 school year. Since the Year 3 reporting period overlaps with the 2021-2022 school year, a table was added to capture information about that school year.

Other minor text changes were made throughout the form to align the language with FY22 reporting.
