Registration is now open for the 2020 WI Federal Funding Conference! This conference is a collaboration between DPI, WASBO and the WI Council of Administrators of Special Services (WCASS) held Wednesday, March 4 and Thursday, March 5, 2020.

This conference has limited registration and has sold out every time it has been offered!

In addition to providing introductory sessions on federal funding for staff new to federal grants management, this year's conference focuses on the importance of the local education agency's compliance with the Federal Uniform Grant Guidance, how student level data impacts federal funding and the implementation of ESSA along with school-level expenditure reporting requirements under ESSA. 

District administrators, business managers, grant coordinators, and bookkeepers who work closely with special education and Title I funding are encouraged to attend along with special education program coordinators and Title I program coordinators.

  • View the entire Schedule at a Glance

Please note, this year's conference is structured with introductory sessions on day 1 and more advanced sessions on day 2.

As one previous conference attendee noted, registering as a team "provides the opportunity to gather more information on different topics and spend time communicating about the intersection of ideas and application to the district."
