Specifically, through that waiver, the U.S. Dept. of Ed. extended the period of availability of NCDPI’s FY 2016 SIG funds through September 30, 2021. NCDPI requested to extend this waiver through September 30, 2022, to provide the time necessary to expend these funds and sufficiently carry out school improvement activities as planned. NCDPI indicated that this waiver extension would allow for continued support for some of the most disadvantaged schools after some planned activities over the past few years were impacted by lengthy shutdown periods and unable to be conducted. It was shared that additional time would allow for the coordination of SIG funds with ESEA funds, federal COVID-19 relief, state, and local funds, in order to facilitate systematic remediation and enrichment activities to further school improvement efforts. After review, NCDPI’s request for waiver was granted pursuant to section 8401(d)(2) of the ESEA. Please note that any FY 2016 SIG funds not spent by September 30, 2022, will revert to the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
