  • CSI
  • GMART
  • Federal Grant Reporting
Date(s)October 1–31, 2026; performance period July 1–September 30, 2026
Applies toLEAs holding FY 2025 ESSA CSI LEA subgrant funds

In Plain Language: Report actual July–September expenditures and the required CSI plan approval/adoption dates in GMART, reconcile them to the approved funding plan and governing evidence, and resolve any school-closure prompt before submission.

Why this matters

GMR 2 links spending authority to local plan action. Costs incurred before an applicable approval, outside the approved strategy, for a closed school, or without support can delay payment or lead to recovery.

Primary ownership

Primary owner: CSI program lead with federal-programs fiscal lead. Partners: CSI school leaders, governing-board/charter authority, COE support, business office, procurement/payroll, plan/document custodian, and GMART contacts.

Operational workflow

  1. 1. Confirm FY 2025 GMR 2, performance period, reporting window, eligible schools, and GMART access.
  2. 2. Resolve the school-closure prompt and verify official Directory dates when applicable.
  3. 3. Reconcile July–September ledger/payroll/contracts to the approved funding plan, strategy, school, period, and allowability.
  4. 4. Verify CSI plan approval/adoption dates against signed minutes/resolutions and explain timing against expenditures.
  5. 5. Review, submit by October 31, and retain the GMART output/confirmation and variance resolutions.
