In Plain Language: Report final eligible expenditures and the unspent balance for the 2024–25 allocation to CDE by September 30, 2026.

Why this matters

The allocation year determines the spending/reporting pair. A report about the wrong appropriation cannot close the actual funding obligation.

Required distinctions and controls

  • CDE’s allocation-specific table gives the final reporting date as September 30, 2026. Spending ends before reporting: June 30, 2026.
  • Reconcile costs to the applicable ELO-P program plan and preserve the current public plan URL requested by CDE.
  • Use the CDE ELO-P expenditure reporting system. Do not substitute ASES/21st CCLC ASSIST reports, operational intent or the offsite-provider certification. Follow CDE’s instructions if reporting access is closed.

From the 2024–25 ELO-P ledger to a submitted final expenditure report: the SDLA ITO workflow

The final report states eligible expenditures and the unspent balance for one allocation year. This SDLA ITO (Input, Transformation, Output) graphic shows how the allocation and expenditure ledger, the approved program plan, and payroll, contract, and invoice support become the approved final report, the receipt, and the recovery or correction record.

SDLA ITO: eleven steps from the allocation and expenditure ledger, the approved program plan, and payroll, contract, and invoice support, through confirming the allocation year, reconciling costs, resolving ineligible items, and approval, to the approved final report, the receipt, and the recovery or correction record.
Read down each column, then move to the next: Input identifies what to collect; Transformation covers confirming the allocation year, reconciling costs, resolving ineligible items, and approval; Output covers the approved final report, the receipt, and the recovery or correction record. Submit by September 30, 2026.
