TEA Updates & Information

Recent TEA Bulletins







2023-2024 Final Entitlements Amounts are available for ESSA

The 2023-2024 ESSA final entitlement amounts are now available and may be found on TEA's Entitlements web page. IMPORTANT: The carryover and reallocation amounts are NOT included in the “final” 2023-2024 entitlement amounts referenced below. Those will be released in February, at which point, LEAs will submit one amendment. 


Per the bulletin:

“As a reminder, local educational agencies (LEAs) will not be able to apply for their final entitlements at this time. To reduce the administrative burden, LEAs will instead be able to submit one amendment to apply for their final entitlements, carryover, and any reallocation amounts when they are announced in February. This new timeline for LEAs receiving and applying for final amounts, and carryover is caused by the new federal requirement for a longer liquidation period on federal funds. TEA will send a separate notification when LEAs can submit amendments to apply for final entitlements, carryover, and any reallocation amounts. TEA anticipates sending the notification regarding the availability of carryover and any reallocation amounts by end of February.”


For questions regarding final amounts, please email the Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting Division at entitlements@tea.texas.gov.
