OFFICE CF THE STATE

SUPER NTENDENT OF EDUCATION

July 27, 2023

To whom it may concern:

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is submitting its final fiscal year
(FY) 2023 data to demonstrate compliance with the Maintenance of Equity (MOEquity)
provision on the ARP ESSER grant and meet the July 31, 2023 deadline as stated on the U.S.
Department of Education’s website.

On DC’s Monthly Call on July 24, 2023 with our ESSER Program Officer, Gaby Tanner, we
requested a copy of the form that should be submitted alongside the final FY23 data. At this
time, the most recent form provided by the Department had been last updated on July 26,
2022. This July 26, 2022 version had the below instructions:

“For the purposes of maintaining equity for FY 2023, each State must update their original
MoO€Equity data submission to include initial FY 2023 data by July 29, 2022. To the extent that FY
2023 funding data are not available, an SEA may provide projected data or request an extension
to provide the data that are not currently available by October 14, 2022.”

DC’s ESSER Program Officer followed up on the same day as the Monthly Call via email and
shared that the Appendix A form updated on July 26, 2022 is the form that state education
agencies should use for its final FY23 MOEquity data submission.

Accordingly, OSSE has signed this form to attest that all of the information in this final FY23
MOEquity data submission is true and correct.

Sincerely,

>

WHMANDMS

For the purposes of maintaining equity for FY 2023, each State must update their original MOEquity data
submission to include initial FY 2023 data by July 29, 2022. To the extent that FY 2023 funding data are not
available, an SEA may provide projected data or request an extension to provide the data that are not currently
available by October 14, 2022. States must submit the following in a spreadsheet in -xls, .csv or similar format:

10. The average statewide per-pupil amount of State funds provided to all LEAs in the State in FY 2023 (if
available);

11. The per-pupil amount of State funds provided to each high-need LEA in the State in FY 2023 (if available);

12. The per-pupil amount of State funds provided to each highest-poverty LEA in the State in FY 2023 (if
available); and

13. A list of the highest-poverty schools in each LEA in the State (including the NCES school ID) for which it
must maintain equity in FY 2023 (which may be provided via a link to a website if the State posts such
information on its public website).

The Department will consider FY 2022 data submitted in the ESSER Annual Performance Report (APR) as final.
States may update the FY 2022 data in their original submission to include changes reflected in the APR.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, all of the information in this MOEquity data submission is true and correct
and the failure to submit accurate data may result in liability under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729 et seq.:
OMB Guidelines to Agencies on Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) in 2 CFR part 180,
as adopted and amended as regulations of the Department in 2 CFR part 3485; 18 USC § 1001, as appropriate, and
other enforcement actions.
