Submission of Required Documents 94. Prompt Submission of Title I Related Documents: Title I regulations require that a school has a completed SPSA and a SPSA Evaluation as well as a School Site Council (SSC) that meets state composition requirements in order for the current year’s Title I funds to be expended. Therefore, if a school has not provided the required documentation by the specific deadlines, the scho ol’s Title I budget will be frozen until the required documentation (completed SPSA, SPSA Evaluation, SSC Certification) has been submitted. The freezing of a school’s Title I budget will also pertain to missing Categorical Equipment Inventory (CEI) and unpaid paybacks. Time and Effort Reporting 95. Time and Effort Reporting Requirement for Employees Funded 100% from Title I and Title III: If employees are funded solely by the Title I Schoolwide Program, they should complete a periodic certification semi-annually of such employment and not a Multi-Funded Time Report each pay period (BUL-2643.13, Documentation for Employees Paid from Federal and State Categorical Programs). In addition, the FSEP website has a link to access all the Title I Time and Effort reporting documents and a FAQ section.
