All federal education grant funds received by local educational agencies (LEAs) and charter schools through the California Department of Education (CDE) are subject to the Uniform Grant Guidance (UGG) (updated in August 2020!) and the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR). In addition, LEAs and charter schools received new federal funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES Act), including Learning Loss Mitigation Funding.New to navigating these rules? Interested in receiving the latest federal financial, regulatory and legislative developments? The CDE has asked its federal liaison firm in D.C., Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC, to lead a two-series virtual workshop: the first part will cover CARES Act funding, legislative developments and federal policy changes; the second part will highlight requirements under the UGG and EDGAR, as well as technical revisions by the Office of Management and Budget, and flexibilities offered related to disruptions caused by COVID-19 and related school closures.
