MANS Webinars
MANS offers webinars on a variety of topics important to nonpublic schools.
Getting EANS Audit Ready Webinar
MANS hosted a webinar on May 25, 2023 with staff from the Michigan Department of Education to provide more information about proper record keeping for EANS.
The EANS I performance period will end on September 30, 2023. All expenditures against the EANS I grant must be properly obligated by September 30, 2023 and liquidated by December 30, 2023 to avoid funds being returned to the federal funding source. An obligation is made on the date the nonpublic school makes a binding written commitment to obtain the services, work, or products. Liquidation occurs when the payment of funds against the expenditure by the nonpublic school after receipt of the services, work, or products takes place.
Note that if a nonpublic school has funds remaining from an expenditure that was previously approved and did not materialize are allowed to re-obligate funds to expenditures as long as they align with a line-item category that has been previously approved.
In 2022 MANS partnered with ADAC to offer a series of trainings on maximizing the services nonpublic schools can offer to children with disabilities. If you couldn’t attend virtually, or in person, the recording and materials are provided for you here.
