  • CSI
  • GMART
  • Federal Grant Reporting
Date(s)February 1–28, 2027
Applies toLEAs holding FY 2025 ESSA CSI LEA subgrant funds

In Plain Language: Report actual period expenditures in GMART, complete the GMR 3 midyear reflection, reconcile the cumulative grant position, and certify by February 28.

Why this matters

Quarterly reporting should reveal whether spending and improvement work are aligned—not merely whether invoices posted. The reflection connects fiscal pace to implementation and student outcomes.

Primary ownership

Primary owner: CSI program lead with federal-programs fiscal lead. Partners: identified schools, business office, improvement/LCAP staff, superintendent designee, and GMART contacts.

From the GMART award to a submitted CSI GMR 3: the SDLA ITO workflow

The report must reflect actual period expenditures and a midyear reflection grounded in evidence. This SDLA ITO (Input, Transformation, Output) graphic shows how the FY 2025 award and approved plan, the period ledger, and prior GMR totals become the ledger crosswalk, the reviewed reflection, and the submitted report with confirmation.

SDLA ITO: eleven steps from the FY 2025 award and approved plan, the period ledger, and prior GMR totals, through reconciling the ledger, writing the evidence-based reflection, and joint review, to the ledger crosswalk, the reviewed reflection, and the submitted report with confirmation.
Read down each column, then move to the next: Input identifies what to collect; Transformation covers reconciling the ledger, writing the evidence-based reflection, and joint review; Output covers the ledger crosswalk, the reviewed reflection, and the submitted report with confirmation. Submit by February 28, 2027, covering October 1, 2026–January 31, 2027.
