According to the announcement, TEA staff are initiating budget adjustments to individual school district program budgets and will adjust the largest budgeted class/object code to incorporate the revised maximum entitlement amounts.  School districts will be notified by email when this is accomplished.  The TEA announcement also stated, "Until those email notifications and attachments are distributed, TEA requests that LEAs not submit any amendments to claim 2011–2012 NCLB Consolidated Federal Grant Application maximum entitlement funding." 

The TEA letter also explains carryover revisions to program budget, amendment instructions and the importance of meeting reporting deadlines.
