Quarterly Report Update
As we are working with CSBG Reporter to finalize reporting changes for the 2018-19 year, we are aware that the deadline for First Quarter reporting is fast approaching. We want to have all reporting modules completed and tested before having you enter into them. Therefore, we are going to ask that you collect all of your information as normal for first-quarter, but there will not be a requirement for the first-quarter report to be entered for us . With your second-quarter report, you will enter your information for both quarters.

When you submit the second-quarter report by February 15th, you will enter first- and second-quarter numbers. In addition, as soon as the CSBG Reporter modules are fully completed and tested, we will make them available to you for entry of those first-quarter numbers, so you will have a jump on that report that will be due after second-quarter.
