Monthly Reports Due September 30th
Thank you all for your continued reporting and patience as we work through some issues we have identified in the process. Members of our team are currently correcting errors on monthly reports, so if you receive an e-mail copy of a past report that you did not submit – it’s because it received a minor correction such as a date. As a reminder, your A1 monthly reports are due at the end of the month on September 30th. We will have additional guidance on reporting from our evaluation team at the upcoming Spotlight on October 7th but if you have any reporting questions now, please reach out to Laura Downey
