If you would like to access your grant application during the session, please ensure your computer has Internet Explorer browser.
Members of Special Education SSAs:
If you are a member of a special education shared services arrangement (SSA), you will not have access to the grant application. Your Fiscal Agent completes the grant application on your behalf. You are welcome to attend this session to develop an awareness of these topics, even though you will not be completing the application yourself. You will learn about some data that you must provide to your Fiscal Agent to facilitate the completion of the application.
TEAL Access:
TEAL access is required to access the grant application. If you do not have this access, please refer to TEA's Secure Applications website to request access to eGrants, if appropriate.
If you do not have access to eGrants, the workshop will still be beneficial even though you will not be able to access the application during the workshop.
CPE/CEU INFORMATION for CPAs and TASBO-Certified Participants:
Specialized
credit hours for CPAs and TASBO-Certified participants will not be awarded to participants who attend via webinar
because ESC-20 does not have the capability of monitoring virtual attendance.
If
you wish to earn these specialized credit hours, you must attend the session in
person. Please register
for session #50415 to attend in person instead of registering for this ZOOM
session.
All ZOOM
participants will receive a regular Connect20 certificate of attendance. The Connect20
certificate should not be used to report credit
hours to TSBPA or TASBO since the hours on the certificate do not align with
the requirements of TSBPA and TASBO.
