Coordinated Funding Request Section 709 of Bulletin 140 requires that each Lead Agency submit a Coordinated Funding Request on behalf of their Community Network to the Louisiana Department of Education (LDE). The purpose of the Coordinated Funding Request is to request seats for LA 4, NSECD, PreK and Expansion Grant for the 2017-2018 school year. The Coordinated Funding Request is limited to the funding sources for which the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) has oversight, and should reflect the choices of families within the community. These programs serve at-risk children only, and have eligibility requirements for children and families. Note that the Coordinated Funding Request does not guarantee funding for any program. Due to limited funding, all requests may not be granted. Although Lead Agencies submit the funding request, they do not serve as the fiscal agent for all funding sources. There are many ways to fund early childhood education outside of the funds allocated through BESE and the LDE. • Lead Agencies are required to ensure that there is an opportunity for public comment on the Coordinated Funding Request before submission. We are in the process of gathering requests from our Program Partners. The Coordinated Funding Request will be available on the LPSS website November 14-28, 2016 for public comments to be submitted to the Lead Agency at [email protected]. In addition, Bulletin 140 establishes review and complaint processes for providers and families. Lead agencies must provide programs written notice of the opportunity to request a departmental review, with the contact information for the Department. • Any publicly-funded program may request that the Department review an enrollment decision or funding request of its Lead Agency. Programs must email the request to [email protected] no later than 30 calendar days after the due date for funding requests (December 31). • Any program or individual may submit a written complaint to the Department regarding the action or inaction of the Lead Agency in its Community Network. Complaints must be submitted to [email protected] within 30 calendar days of the action or inaction of the Lead Agency upon with the complaint is based.
