NYSED Mandated Services Update: Remember, there are only 14 school days until the 4/1/24 Mandated Services claim submission deadline, so if you have not started working on your claim I would encourage you to start this week. If you have not yet opened your 2023 claim online yet, please do so this week - you can enter the information later. Remember, I am hosting one more Mandated Services Data Entry Sessions on 3/12 at St. Amelia for those who have completed their Excel spreadsheets and “Form 2” and want to enter the data online with me nearby for questions. If you ask, I can look your claim over once it has been entered online on the NYSED Business Portal (but NOT submitted!) by 3/18/24. Any reviews left until after that date may result in insufficient time to correct any areas of concern prior to the submission deadline.

NYSED Safety Equipment Funds: We are still waiting for updated Year 10 guidance, forms, and allocations which will be posted here when they are ready.

Mandated Services – Forward any NYSED “Post Review” or “Hold” emails: As your Mandated Services claims are submitted, some schools labeled as “Post Review” or “Hold” will get an email from NYSED at some point. Please forward to me any emails you get from the state that request follow-up on your end to resolve a claim. I highly recommend you allow me to assist you during this review process. Be especially careful with anything you say to NYSED representatives on the phone – I recommend you get their requests in writing and make your responses in writing.

Print a Copy of your Submitted 2022-2023 Mandated Services Claim: Once you complete and submit your 2022-2023 Mandated Services Claim, I recommend that you print a copy of your claim and put it in your Mandated Services folder. Since NYSED only retains claims from the past three years, it would make sense for you to have a hard copy of your claim for your records. To print your claim, first click on “Summary of Expenditures” and then expand all Mandates that you are receiving reimbursement for. Then right click and select “print”. Once you are on the print/preview screen, you will probably need to change the layout to “Landscape” in order to ensure that all of the information prints (check the preview).
