  • 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.

From July–September costs to a submitted CSI GMR 2: the SDLA ITO workflow

The report also verifies the CSI plan approval dates that authorize implementation. This SDLA ITO (Input, Transformation, Output) graphic shows how the ledger, payroll, and contracts, the approved funding plan, and plan approval minutes become the period ledger and funding-plan crosswalk, the board evidence, and the GMART report.

SDLA ITO: eleven steps from the ledger, payroll, and contracts, the approved funding plan, and plan approval minutes, through scope and closure checks, expenditure reconciliation, and plan-date verification, to the period ledger and funding-plan crosswalk, the board evidence, and the GMART report.
Read down each column, then move to the next: Input identifies what to collect; Transformation covers scope and closure checks, expenditure reconciliation, and plan-date verification; Output covers the period ledger and funding-plan crosswalk, the board evidence, and the GMART report. Report July 1–September 30, 2026 expenditures between October 1 and October 31, 2026.
