If an LEA overspent their ESSER III in payroll and contracted services, can the 25% variance apply? Also, they cannot reclassify because the expenditures occurred in the previous year. Also, as they are completing their final expenditure report, they continue to receive an error that their amounts do not match. Please advice on what options are available for this LEA.

We work with a lot of small rural schools with the Superintendent wearing many hats and it’s nearly impossible for them to stay compliant and up to date on grant requirements/polcies and procedures.
