Region 10 acts as the fiscal agent for Shared Service Arrangements (SSA) members. The Office of Federal Programs manages the following SSA grants:

Title I, A Improving Basic Programs
Title I, C Migrant Education Program
Title II, A
Title III, ELA
Title III, Immigrant
Title IV, Student Support and Academic Enrichment
ESSER I, II, III, and Supplemental

As the fiscal agent of a SSA, Region 10 submits grant applications, compliance reports, financial reports, and all other required documentation to the TEA.

EDGAR requires subgrantees to take specific steps to seek approval or document intent before expending federal funds on certain activities. TEA has developed different forms to help LEAs meet these requirements. Refer to each section below for guidance on how to complete and submit the forms. TEA will provide a formal response for each request submitted.

Most of the forms are now maintained, or will be in the future, in a secure, automated, online system called EDGAR Forms WorkApp System. This new automated system will track the submission, review, and approval of forms and should expedite the entire process.

Region 10 will support SSA members in the completion of these forms. Please contact Dr. Abigail Hobart if you need support with submission of a required TEA form.
