What is Expenditure Reporting (ER) used for?

• A. A district awards program.
• B. A PEIMS submission tool.
• C. An act about equal educational opportunities.
• D. A web-based system for expenditure reporting used by TEA for grant reimbursements, with real-time status and TEA comments.

Answer: (D)

Expenditure Reporting is a web-based tool TEA uses to manage grant expenditures and reimbursements. Districts enter approved expenditures that align with grant budgets, submit reimbursement requests, and track the status in real time as TEA reviews and adds comments. This system keeps fiscal activity transparent, helps ensure funds are used according to grant terms, and provides immediate feedback from TEA on any steps needed to move a reimbursement forward. The other options refer to a district awards program, the PEIMS data submission system, or a piece of legislation, none of which describe the online tool for grant expenditure tracking and reimbursements with real-time status and TEA comments.
