Budget

Beginning with FY11, the Budget Section of the plan will no longer require Title III Directors to separately enter the Title III budget into the Strategic Plan.

Instead, each county treasurer is required to enter the detailed budget for all programs (including Title III) into the WVEIS data file and this information will automatically populate a Budget REPORT that will be displayed in the Title III Budget section of the Plan. Please note the following timelines:

Mid-May - Title III Directors will need to provide a copy of the Title III budget to treasurers to enable them to enter the budget into the WVEIS data file by mid-May in order to provide sufficient time for meeting public notice requirements (please check with your county treasure for the exact deadline due to varying county timelines). Since actual allocations have not yet been received, counties are to use the estimated allocations that they have been provided.

June 1- County Treasures must submit the Title III budget when they submit the WVEIS data file on June 1st.

Late June - Title III US Department of Education allocations will be received in late June, and Title III directors will be notified of their Actual Allocations for FY11.

AfterJuly 1 -Any differences between the estimated and actual allocations are to be addressed both in the Strategic Plan and as a Budget Journal entry submitted to this office after July 1.
