The required application supplements for the FY23 Title I Data Collection and FY23 Title IVA Data Collection are now open in GEM$, and the submission deadline is June 30, 2023. Districts must submit these required data collections prior to DESE approving your FY24 ESSA grants.

Staff assigned the role of "LEA Grantwriter" for the ESSA Consolidated Grant Application will be able to access and complete the Title I and Title IVA data collection application supplements in GEM$. The Title IVA data collection will also require approval from the "LEA Fiscal Representative". Your district's "User Access Administrator" is responsible for assigning roles and any role can be assigned to multiple people in the district.

Accessing the Application Supplements in GEM$

  • Once you log into GEM$, go to 'Funding' on the left side navigation bar, and select 'Application Supplements'.
  • Select 2023 as the fiscal year and you will see the Title I and Title IVA data collections.
  • Once you click into the application supplement, you will need to change the status at the top of your screen to 'Application Supplement Started'. This will enable you to enter the data.
  • Once completed, you must then change the status to 'Application Supplement Completed'.

Detailed Instructions

For detailed instructions on completing these application supplements in GEM$, please see the webinar recording and slide deck posted to the GEM$ homepage.

Please email federalgrantprograms@mass.gov if you have any questions about the process. Please complete these application supplements by the deadline so as not to delay approval of your FY24 ESSA grants. Thank you.
