Urgent Action: ARRA Part B Awards Reporting due September 28

This afternoon you received your Part B award through the State of Iowa ARRA Website accessed via the State’s Enterprise A&A system. Please review all pre-populated data to ensure it is accurate.

Heartland AEA sent an email earlier this morning to all area superintendents and district special education contacts stating that the deadline for Part B ARRA reporting to Heartland AEA is Monday, September 28 at NOON. Please note, this is the ARRA Quarterly Reporting, not the ARRA application which is still due October 2.

The Heartland ARRA Reporting Team will be located in the Johnston office Computer Lab from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Monday to assist any district on getting the reporting done. If you do not wish to travel to Johnston but still need assistance, you can reach members of the team via phone at (515) 270-9030 or (800) 362-2720 extension 14537. The team also will be available via their email addresses that are listed in the close of the email sent earlier today or by clicking here.

Training videos on ARRA quarterly reporting can be accessed under "Latest Update" on the DE's Web site for ARRA Stimulus Information. The link for the page is http://edtraining.iowa.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7&Itemid=2.
