There are five types of expenses that can be added
as budget lines in the TIPA application:
- District-level
expenses with set-aside codes – These are expenses the LEA takes off
the top of its TIPA allocation, before allocating funds to eligible school
attendance areas that are directly tied to an activity under Program Requirements, District Initiatives or District Problem Solving. In the relevant budget line(s) in CIMS, these expenses are indicated by leaving the Budget Focus set to District and selecting one of the set-aside codes from the drop-down menu labeled SA.
- District-level
expenses without set-aside codes – These are expenses the LEA takes off
the top of its TIPA allocation, before allocating funds to eligible school
attendance areas that are not directly tied to an activity. These expenses must be entered as budget lines within the Administrative Costs tab of the TIPA Budget page, and are indicated by leaving the Budget Focus set to District and the set-aside code (SA) marked as N/A.
- School-level
expenses with B-1 set-aside code – These are aggregate, school-level
expenses accounting for how the funds allocated in the Public School
Eligibility Survey for parental involvement activities (i.e., the Parental
Involvement Reservation) will be expended. They may be added to the TIPA Budget page under Program Requirements or District Problem Solving. In the relevant budget line(s) in CIMS, these expenses are indicated by setting the Budget Focus to Public Schools Allocation and selecting B-1 from the list of set-aside codes found under SA.
- School-level
expenses for public school services – These are aggregate,
school-level expenses accounting for how the funds allocated in the Public
School Eligibility Survey will be expended. They may be added to activities under Program Requirements or District Problem Solving. In the relevant budget line(s) in CIMS, these expenses are indicated by setting the Budget Focus to Public Schools Allocation and leaving the set-aside code (SA) marked as N/A.
- School-level
expenses for private school services – These are aggregate,
school-level expenses accounting for how the funds generated in the
Private School Eligibility Survey will be expended. They may be added to activities under Program Requirements or District Problem Solving. In the relevant budget line(s) in CIMS, these expenses are indicated by setting the Budget Focus to Private Schools Reservation and leaving the set-aside code (SA) marked as N/A.
