Please note:

1. The ESEA Consolidated Application contains Titles I-A, I-C, I-D, II-A, III-A, and IV-A.
2. The funding that was loaded to GMS is based on FY2024 final allocations for the purpose of starting the application. Please plan appropriately until final FY2025 allocations are available and loaded to GMS (typically mid-July).
3. The FY2024 budget and budget narrative may be copied into the FY2025 application, if desired, and then modified. All other information must be entered directly for the FY2025 application.
