ESSER Annual Performance Reporting Workbook



Planning for ESSER Closeout

TEA's Department of Grant Compliance and Administration has developed the USDE ESSER Annual Performance reporting workbook to assist LEAs and ESCs with planning for upcoming years of USDE Annual Performance Reporting. This workbook is intended solely as a planning tool.

The planning tool does not take the place of the formal submission required by LEAs who have received ESSER funding in the USDE ESSER Reporting SmartSheet WorkApp. The USDE ESSER Reporting SmartSheet WorkApp will open for data collection in October or once USDE releases final Year Four data collection instructions.

Once the dashboard goes live, the report submission date will be announced by TEA, which is anticipated to be around mid February. Additionally, TEA will facilitate office hours to answer questions.
