In addition, this notice clarifies and extends the deadline for SEAs to submit application amendments affecting allocations under the Emergency Impact Aid program, including any updated enrollment data generally for any quarter and any previously unreported fourth quarter data for the 2017–18 school year.

If an SEA is ready to submit its initial Emergency Impact Aid application by the original May 25 deadline, it may still do so, as the Department plans to begin reviewing applications as soon as they are received and to process payments on a rolling basis. Except as detailed in this notice, all other requirements and conditions stated in the notice announcing availability of funds remain the same.

grantees are required to provide data on established performance 
measures for the grant program (e.g., Government Performance and
