001Okay, the recording has started. My name is Lenra Guest and I am the TEA um budsman and we'll be going through the statewide virtual training for the 2526 ESSA PNP private nonprofit school equitable services affirmations smart sheet work app data submission and instructions. This is the attendance uh check-in. If you did not check in earlier, please select the event name and register your name and the your position or title. And you may provide your email address or you can leave it off. If you do provide your email address and there are questions that you specifically ask, I will have a direct email address to respond. And then if you can indicate your role or if you're an ESC, indicate your ESC number or your school system name and uh CDN number to assess the statewide

002training video and slides. They will be posted once available on our federal program compliance division resources page. There is a section that says as a uh private nonprofit equitable services and that is where you will be able to find access to this recording later as well as the presentation sites will be there and a frequently asked uh questions document will be there. As I stated earlier, to ensure that there is enough time for all questions to be answered first, I need to get through the presentation. And please put your questions in the Q&A box, not the chat box, and I will respond to them after the session. If I do do not make it through all of the responses, they will be answered. and the questions and responses will be posted within a few weeks

003on our web page. This presentation is intended solely to provide general information and guidance to Texas LEAs, education service centers, nonprofits and subgrantees and participating private schools that are receiving equitable services.

TEA further prohibits any person or entity from using the information included in its grants related trainings to train AI technologies. Any attendees of TEA's grant related trainings who violate this prohibition may be removed from the trainings and may be barred from attending future grant related trainings. By the end of this presentation, participants will gain a better understanding of the 2526 divisions uh federal program compliance divisions, a PMP affirmation smart sheet work app system, the PMP affirmation of consultation forms with the work within the work app submission process, how to resolve any of the PNP affirmation smart sheet issues and also receive and know the resources available

005for completing the PMP affirmation of consultation forms for participating private nonprofit schools. Here are a few things that I will be um speaking on today. First, I'll just have a few slides about the ba on the basics of private nonprofit just to ensure that everyone understands and then there will be um I'll walk through the PMP affirmation smart sheet work app on how to access request for that work app in the PMP data submission resolving the PMP affirmation smart sheet submission issues and how to utilize the FPC work app help form. And then at the end of the presentation, I'll have lots of resources available for you as well. And as I stated earlier, the presentation slides will be posted on our resources page following our presentation. They are not available today. So just getting

006to the basics of a private nonprofit and what it means. First uh to define nonpublic or nonprofit the stat the CFR statute defines nonprofit as an agency, organization or institution owned and operated by one or more corporations or associations whose net earnings do not benefit and cannot lawfully benefit any private shareholder or entity. The private school is the one that does have the burden of proof on showing the school system that it is actually a nonprofit entity in order to be eligible or seek eligibility for services. In order to be a private school, the statute defines private as that agency, organization, or institution that is not under federal or public supervision or control. And then it must also meet the two definitions of nonprofit and non-public. All three of these are requirements that a private

007school must have documentation to share with the school system to ensure that it meets these three requirements prior to being able to receive services. Equitable services are eligible for the title one part A program as well as the title 8 programs that are under the ESA's section 8501 and that would be the title one part C which is migrant title 2 part A professional development title 3 part A English learners and immigrant students title four part A and title 4 part B. Title 4 part B is the 21st century community learning centers and that is a competitive grant. So not all um entities that receive that would receive SSA pro uh funding would receive the 21st century grant. But those that do receive the grant, there are eligibility criteria for private school students to be

008eligible for participation with 21st uh century equitable services. The LEA must provide services that are designed to meet and supplement educational needs for the eligible private school students and staff. And so the district is not providing those uh core curriculum. It is responsible for providing services that are supplemental to what the private school is already providing to their students. The equitable services must remain uh non-religious. It cannot have any religious content at all uh that is being provided on behalf of the private school through the district or including any of the services that the private school may seek. The equitable educational services must be compared to services that a student would have received in a public school and provided in a timely manner. Equitable services are monitored and enforced by the uh state PMP unbudsman

009and I am the unbudsman that ensures that private schools are receiving the equitable services and I work uh with not only the private schools but also the school systems to ensure that they have an understanding of equitable services what it means and how those services are being provided. When it comes to providing services, the first thing is there must be a consultation meeting between the school system and the private schools that have an interest in receiving services. And so the successful consultation it starts before implementation of services. So starting those services you um the two entities should be establishing a positive and productive working relationship and that should go throughout the school year. It is not a one-time consultation meeting at the beginning of the school year and a consultation meeting at the end. Consultation

010should occur throughout the school year to ensure that the private school is receiving the services that they need. It's meeting the needs of their ser of their students and their staff and that the the school system is ensuring that everything is working according to the requirements of equitable services and providing that support for the district for those uh private schools that are participating. And so here are some of the things that must be shared during the consultation. And this is only a selection of a few of those consultation requirements. There should be an understanding that first of all, the school system is the one that would be conducting an outreach to those private schools located within its boundaries. And any of those schools that may have students that are would have attended a public school

011but is attending a private school outside of its boundaries and may need title one part A services. the district is the one that would initiate the PMP consultation meeting. If they don't know if a private school exists, it could be that maybe there's new private schools within the me within the area. And I do have links for districts to be able to search and see if there are additional private schools. and that will be at the end in resources so that you could at least do your due diligence in searching for private schools that could be in your area. The district is responsible for maintaining dated documentation and keeping that documentation on file as well as sharing what the timelines and due dates are that it that a private school must meet in order for

012uh services to be provided. They must also share uh the policies and procedures of the district and looking at what are the professional development needs for the private school. What are the requirements and the uh any deadlines or timelines for a private school to request travel for professional development if it's out of the area? Also, the LEA should be sharing what their process and procedures are on technology, thirdparty providers, and other information that would be applicable to private schools. The districts should always consider the needs and uh request of the private schools and dis have a discussion of that prior to services being provided. There is a PMP affirmation of consultation form for each participating private school that an LEA would have to go through what the requirements are for consultation as well as selecting

013each program that the private school would like to receive services in. This form must be completed. It must be signed by a private school official as well as the uh responsible staff member at the district. And that is the form that would be submitted through our PMP affirmations work app. If there are any issues um regarding disagreements on services being provided, the LEA is required to provide written notice and written rationale on why they disagree. For example, that could be that they are dis in disagreement on providing using a third party provider for services at the PNP. And so if that is the case, the LEA is required to provide that rationale. And so all of this happens through consultation. And then this section two is timely and meaningful consultation equitable uh services on the

014program design. This is a section that I want to call your attention to the what happens with this section is that the LEA and private school as they discuss the LEA is responsible for sharing the programs in which it receives funds for what those program requirements are with the private school official. as they're discussing those programs, then the private school is letting them know if they want to participate in those particular programs or not. And so if the LEA has shared that program information with all of the funded programs and discuss what the program design could be with respect to those eligible private school children and staff, then the LEA will select yes on those programs. If there is a program where the the district did not receive funding, for example, if the district did

015not receive title one part C funding, there is no program that could exist in the public school or in the private school. And so you need to make sure that if there's no program for the public school, you would select no on that question because there is no no program to discuss since there is not funding at the public um level. But if there is funding for migrant students, the district must share what that program could look like with the private school. and by sharing information whether it be written and then walking through that information they would select yes on part two even though the private school may decide to not participate. So these se this section of buttons is completely different from if they're participating or not in section one that's right above that.

016That's where you indicate if they're participating with an LEA with a shared service uh ar through a an SSA shared service arrangement or if the LEA is providing direct contact direct services or if they're not participating in that particular service. This section two says yes, we talked to him about the program because we received funding for it or we had no funding for title one part C. So we did not discuss it and you would just click no. So this is mainly just the discussion of the programs where you select yes or no and please complete all of these if the if the private school is participating in services. Oops, let me go back. Here again are just a few of the selected topics that must be addressed during consultation. Um as you go through

017the affirmation of consultation together, you're also talking about the program requirements. As I stated earlier, the LEA must also be sharing what is the amount of equitable services with that particular private school campus. And again, as I stated, the district policies, procedures, and timelines, and to discuss any what will occur if there's any potential year end unforeseen equitable services carryover. And so that carryover discussion should occur at the beginning of the school year, even though at that point you don't know if there's going to be carryover or not of services. I have completed a diagram that helps you to know if a private school is receiving services and if for some unforeseen reason those services are not used by the end of the school year and it needs to be carried forward. These are the

018reasons why and where it would be carried forward. Uh in the case of carryover, the statute indicates that all services should be used within the same school year in which it was received. So that is the number one goal. However, we know that there are unforeseen um circumstances that incur that can occur due to uh unexpected challenges uh inability to uh find qualified personnel to support the private schools in a timely manner, a delay consultation for some reason, weather challenges uh at the beginning of the school year. And so if it is a title one part A uh program and not all services were rendered, the LEA would redistribute the um remaining title one part A services to those private schools that were impacted and participating with title one part A services. that what is

019what happens with title one part A due to the services not being provided within that school year or unforeseen circumstances. However, if the private school closed or never responded to services at the beginning of the school year even though they had planned to participate and stated they would participate in the spring or in the summer or they declined uh services, then that's when for title one part A, the LEA would redistribute the remaining title one services among those private schools that are participating. If there are no other private schools that are participating and there was only that one school that closed, never responded or declined services, then the the public school would retain those Title One Part A funds for for services within its public school. For title 8 programs, it's a completely different scenario

020when it comes to any of the unforeseen equitable services carryover. And that is going to be uh for any of the unforeseen circumstances, the LEA would be responsible for redistributing those funds to the impacted private schools for services. If not all equitable services were used by the end of the school year, then the LEA should be redistributing any of the Title 8 program funds for services among not only the private schools but also the public schools. And so that's why it's very important for private schools to use services through the school year whenever whenever possible. And then the last one is if private schools close or never opened, um the redistribution of the remaining Title 8 program funds for services would go to those participating public and private schools. Now, if this occurs early in

021the school year, for example, a school, a private school closes down in the spring, early in the spring, and there is still time for the other schools to participate with services, you certainly can redistribute those funds for services um in the early spring. Um, and so I wanted to share that caveat in case there are uh times when the services could be used earlier in the school year instead of waiting until the end of the year to uh have carryover. Okay. Now, we're going to get into the PMP affirmation data submission and how you're going to submit those affirmations. I have already reviewed the work app and I do see that there are lots of districts that have already uploaded uh participating PMP affirmation of consultation forms. The first thing I want to state is

022please do not submit affirmations for those private schools that are not participating with any of the programs. If they are not participating at all, you keep those records on file. Even if you have a consultation meeting with them and they sign the consultation form for you, but they decide we don't want to participate with anything, but we wanted to come to the meeting to learn more about equitable services. The district should keep that consultation form on file and do not submit it. districts will submit one signed affirmation per private school within the smart sheet. And so for example, if you are a district and you have in this example, I use 12 participating private schools, that district would need to submit 12 separate uh smart sheets with data and along with attaching the affirmations with

023each individual private schools data submission. The data submission window, it opened July 1. We had we already have instructions for submitting the affirmation by way of the work app that's already posted been posted on our website. So if you have not looked at that, please look at the instructions. There are lots there is lots of information in there that could be helpful as you move forward in submitting those affirmations. The deadline to submit signed affirmations by both the private school and the public school is always September 30th of the school year. And so this year um you have several more weeks to get the affirmations signed and then uploaded into the system. It is highly recommended by the embudsment office that any revisions to affirmations that occur through the school year that they be made

024the final revisions be made by May 1st of 2026. That is because the final PMP affirmation amendments and the final ESA consolidated application amendments are due June 2nd. And it works out so much easier for the district if you are capturing all of the final amendments regarding affirmations before school closes May uh and doing that in May before um May because if there are private schools that ended up participating and you did not have a signed affirmation that was submitted, you need to ensure that you're getting signatures uh from both the private school and the public school and getting that information uploaded prior to the the final amendment date. If there are any private schools that did not participate after planning to participate and there were affirmation sheets that were uploaded in September and then

025maybe they never responded or closed or declined services shortly after. You need to ensure that if there were any that did not participate that before May, you are actually going in there and you are making those revisions to the affirmations. And I will share how to do that uh a little bit later in the presentation. And so to get into the work app for those with access into the Smart Sheet system, they would log in and I have the GCA work app link. And that is only going to be for the few LEAs within your district, few LEA staff that have access to enter the dynamic view of the work app. However, anyone can upload the affirmations into the system, but those that have access to upload affirmations may not also have access to enter

026the system here because generally those that are able to submit within the dynamic view which which is the inside of the affirmations or inside of the work app. They are the ones that can make changes to information on the work app. And so this is the PMP affirmations work app tile that those with access would be able to click on there and enter the PMP affirmations um dynamic view. And so by doing that they will be able to see the 2526 PMP affirmations. And as you can see um if by clicking on that button here is a sample this is what those with access into the dynamic view will be able to see. They'll see the region number of that particular um that particular private school uh or district as well as the name of

027the private school that is participating and the uh county district number of the district, the district's name. And this particular one, it says they're participating in an SSA. This is just an example. And then um this is a what it looks like for those that are able to post the affirmations and the data into the system. This page, this smart sheet is open to everyone. And so anyone that has this smart sheet link, which is also located in the instruction booklet that is posted on our web page, may go in and and upload data from each participating private school as well as the affirmation for that particular participating uh private school. So everyone can do this. This is the important part is to get that affirmation uploaded by September 30th. And so as you get

028into that form um the smart sheet, this is what you're going to see. Is the private is the affirmation being submitted as part of a shared services arrangement or an SSA? If so, the district will say yes and then the district will enter uh will select its name and the CDN number from a drop- down menu. This menu uh smart sheet is only for districts to input data. It is not for use by the private schools. And then here you're going to input who is the best person to contact at the district that would have knowledge about private schools and equitable services that are that is being provided. And so it could be that maybe the superintendent and a federal programs director actually has access to work within the dynamic view and change data. But

029the person that actually is working with those private schools has access to uh submit the affirmation from the smart sheet and they have the program knowledge. So if I needed to contact someone then I could say um call that person directly that is the contact person so that they know have the information that I need. And so that's whose information you're going to be put there. As you can see, one of the things that I want to uh remind you again, and I know I sound like a broken recorder, but please do not participate, do not submit if they're not participating in a program at all. And I'm saying that because currently I can see there are affirmations uploaded that state they are not participating in any program. So please read the instructions and please

030if they're not participating, you don't fill out the smart sheet at all. They're I don't even need to know the private schools in your district that are not participating. That's what you keep on file for documentation purposes in the event of an audit. And so this is the section where it asks about a private school being located within the boundaries of a district. If the private school is located within the boundaries of a district, it has access to receive programs under the title 8 umbrella, which is the title one part C migrant, title two part A, professional development, title three English learners, immigrants, and title four part A. If they're participating in those programs, they or want to participate in those programs, they must the building must reside within that district's boundaries. If the building

031does not reside in that district's boundaries, you would select no, but they are participating in title one part A. And so you only the title one part A box is going to open for you to complete. And then that's when you would say yes, they're participating with title one part A. Even though the building is outside of our boundaries, we have lowincome students that generated funding for services that would have attended our public school, our public title one school. And then you start looking at the educational need for students if they are not participating in title one. uh and they are located within your boundaries, you would just select no. But they're participating with other programs. So if you have private schools that are particip that are located within the district boundaries, this is what

032you will see open. You're going to select yes. There are private schools lo that are actually within our boundaries. It opens the rest of the program information. And so this is where you would indicate yes or no if the private school that's located inside your district boundaries is participating in each program or not. So you should have at least one yes or third party consortium or SSA on this page in order to upload an affirmation. If the answer is not participating all the way down, you close out. do not submit this um smart sheet and keep the affirmation on hand. The only way that you will not see all of these programs uh pop up is if the district does not have the private school is not located within the district boundaries. If they're not

033within boundaries, you're only going to see title one part A uh to respond to that program. After you have that school's information entered, the name of the school, the contact information for the for the district, then that's when you're going to upload one PMP affirmation for that school that you just provided data for. You're going to uh upload the affir the signed affirmation. Please check to make sure that you are uploading an affirmation that has everything completed on the form. Auditors are looking to ensure that there is a box checked for every program that is open and that there are signatures from both the private school and the district that are on the form prior to being uploaded. And then you're going to read the certification statement that everything that you have reported to the

034best of your knowledge is correct. You're going to say yes. And that submits the certification statement. After you do that, you need to ensure that you are um you save and submit the affirmation. One of the things I want to remind you for remind you of if you do not save, you're you're going to see a blue button. It will be highlighted to save. And so once you save it then uh you see that it is saved but if it's grayed out it means that there is something missing on that smart sheet form. It could be that maybe you didn't click if they are participating in one of the programs or you did not enter the private school name or you didn't enter the district's contact phone number. So, make sure that that lights up

035as blue before you're able to click on that message. If you want a copy of what you have submitted, you must click on send me a copy of my responses where that yellow arrow is. If you do not click that button and you submit only, you will not have a copy of your responses. It is very important for those that are working with equitable services that they actually click on the button to ensure that and enter their email address because that way at least you have a submission receipt. If you do not click on that button, there will not be a receipt. You will not be able to see what you submitted unless you have access to the dynamic view to look into the um work app and see all of the private schools that

036have been uploaded and what they have been um what which programs they indicated they would participate in. Otherwise, you would not have that knowledge if you're just if you're the person that is only doing the working part of uh equitable services, but you're not able to see the dynamic view. This is what the dynamic view looks like for those that have access once they have uploaded the information. Uh I just kind of put this up at the front up at the top. This shows all of the programs because the spreadsheet is pretty long, but it shows all the programs at the top and it will say if they're participating or not and that's what will be seen if you select um that you want to receive a copy, put your email address. You will receive

037it all in an email so that you can keep it for your records to remember if you submitted that affirmation or not and what that school said that they participated in. In the event you cannot see the dynamic view, here's an example of what it looks like when a district goes in to see the list of schools that are participating. They're seeing which ones are within school boundaries, which ones are not, but they have participation either through an SSA, third party, or the LEA. And so here you can see these are the names of all of the private schools that are participating and you can see the responses for each of the programs. And then you're going to sign out of the affirmations dynamic view. But I wanted to share with everyone because I know

038not everyone can see that dynamic view on what it looks like. If uh for some reason you need to make changes to an affirmation, for example, a district decided not to participate in title one part A, but they still or the private school, but that private school still wants to participate with title 2 and four. So the person that has access to the dynamic view would be able to go in and make those changes to say no to title one part A for St. Mary's and then they would leave the title 2 and four for St. Mary's and then they would need to upload additional uh a re revised affirmation that shows that St. Mary's for example is only participating in two and four program services. There is no longer a comment box for revisions.

039The LEA that has access into the dynamic view will be able to make those changes on their own this year. This is new for this year. Last year you had to send comment box information through comment boxes. This year we took it out. So you will make your own changes in this dynamic view if you have access and then you will sign out of the work app. And here you see this is the information. Uh this is a sample of what it looks like when everything is filled out on that smart sheet. And then you see here where it says file attach attachment there's a sample of a file that's been attached which is the affirmation of consultation form. If at all possible please stick to only uploading the affirmations. I do have some districts

040that have uploaded additional letters and documents. This is when we had our consultation meeting. We don't need that in the the work app. That is documentation that you keep on file if there are any issues with your submission. That is what uh a little bit of what I spoke about earlier. And so here this is what I was talking about. When the LEA can get into the dynamic view, they are going to make those changes to that particular school. Do not add another line for a district uh for a district's private school to make changes. If that school is already listed, then you make the changes on that one line where that school is listed so that we don't have duplicate lines for the same school with different data or even the same data. There

041should be one line per school. And so as you get into the dynamic view, you make those changes and attach the signed affirmation before clicking save. And that will automatically upload that affirmation into the uh school line and auditors will look at the most recent affirmation. And this is just a recap of what I have stated earlier uh just as a reminder. And like I said, maybe I'm sounding like a broken recorder, but it's because I can see now there are already affirmations that are uploaded that say not not participating. And I also see affirmations that have um two and three lines for the same school. And that should not be the case. If for some reason you do upload in error a document that is not an affirmation or it's the affirmation from an

042incorrect year because you should only be using the 2526 affirmation. That is when you can use the work app help form to request what the change is what change is needed and tea would make that change. Please make a screenshot of what you need what you need um deleted or what you need support with. So that if it is incorrect data that was submitted, if it was a second school line and you need to delete the first school line for some reason, then please type what you need, but also do a screenshot so that we will know which line needs to be deleted. If it's St. Mary's is in there twice. Which line needs to be deleted so that we only have one line per school and we have the correct affirmation form uploaded. And

043again, if it's just that you need to change data on that same school, you'll be able to do that yourself. Do not do a work app help form for that. And here you have the link for the work app. and um where you can uh do the work app uh submit things through the smart sheet. If there are any issues with getting into the work app uh or getting connected then uh into the affirmations sheet, please submit a work app help form. If you're submitting that work app health form, this is what you need to select if it's for the PMP affirmations. There is um one of the selections for the work at project is LEA PMP affirmations work app that is what you will select and once you select that then you're going to

044type what is the issue with uh that has been uploaded already. And so you're going to say, okay, um, over on the right side where it says issue category, you're going to select is it that the you need an attachment removed. Maybe you attach the incorrect affirmation or additional documentation that should not be there. Um the next one is that maybe you entered or submitted the incorrect data and that private school uh for that private school you should be able to correct that. But if for some reason you can't correct it in the dynamic view and you have access to that then you will need to submit a work app so we can see what is going on with that. And then if there are other issues with some of the other programs, the same

045uh help form will work for that as well. There are a few additional uh dates that are coming up that I need you to be familiar with. Uh the first one is Sep the next one is September 19th. That will be a time when um I will have office hours for open Q&A session on September 19th from 9 to 10 Central Standard Time. You must pre-register for that office hour session. And during that session, it will be a opportunity for districts and private schools to ask questions specifically about the work app or for districts to ask questions about the work app because private schools are not able to post anything on the work app. They're welcome to attend. If you cannot attend that session, I will be capturing all of the Q&As's and uh providing

046responses and those responses will be posted on our web page. So, um, I do want you to know that you'll be able to locate those responses as well as all of the training information uh that we have on our on our web page and I am going to put in the let's see move on. Okay, here are some resources for the ESSA formula which are the grants I just spoke about and the 21st century grant. The 21st century again that is a competitive grant. It does have its own work app system. So, do not upload 21st century grant uh affirmation or consultation forms under the formula grants and you will not see title 4 part B on the uh smart sheet that I was just talking about because it has its own link and that

047link will be on this on the next slide few slides. These links are specifically for the ESSA um programs that are listed that are the formula grants. There's a training video to to understand the general uh smart sheet instructions. There are um there's instructions that you can download from our website. There's also how to submit through the work app. There's a general help form information and instructions as well. And then there is the uh TEA federal program compliance links where you can go into those links to get more information not only about our uh program but also the smart sheets for the formula grants as well as this voiceover video will be posted and you'll be able to view that or share it later. Um, I'm hoping to have that posted by September 12th, if

048not earlier. The link to the presentation will also be uh posted as well. I do not have the link to the presentation right now, but if you do put your um email address in the check-in, I can email it out to you. Um the the local ESC's do have a copy of the presentation form uh presentation. So they can also send you the presentation of the affirmation instructions and submission guide. So you can get it uh those ways before it's actually posted on our web page. Here is are the links for 21st century. As you can see, that last bullet is specifically the smart sheet link for title 4 part B. So, if you are participating and uh with the competitive grant, please use that for um 21st century affirmations. If you have any questions

049about 21st century uh program and who the subgrantees are or anything about that then I have um posted the Texas afterchool centers on education the web page so that you can go there and get more support for 21st century. Here are web resources for all of the ed uh resources that we have. And so with those resources, you can read more about the equitable services for title one part A plus all the other programs as a direct link to the guidance document as well as the statute. And then I've also included the ED office of nonpublic education And here I am including the instructions for requesting the Smart Sheet workup system access. And again, if you are an LEA, it is up to the LEA leadership to grant you access to the system. TEA does

050not grant access to the smart sheet system. your um LEA leadership or ESC leadership would need to grant you access first and these are the steps in which to be granted access and then if the access is approved then that's when you will be able to uh see the uh dynamic view and have access once TEA receives that approval from your leadership staff. Here is the link, the QR code for the presentation feedback. Please do go in and um complete the evaluation. I appreciate all of your comments, all of your questions, and I'd appreciate your feedback. Thank you for joining this session. Again, my name is Lenny Targus and I am the PMP unbudsman. You can reach me by phone or email. It is quicker to reach me by email and you can email either

051a email address if you have questions my direct email or the PMP unbudsman email. I try to have those with specific unbudsman related questions regarding the PMP uh equitable services or the affirmation to submit to the PMP unbudsman email address because in the event that I am out of the office then other staff have access to that email and can may be able to answer your questions. Thank you for attending this session and I am going to stop the recording now and I will stay on and go through the questions that have been posted in the Q&A version.
