Before attending Office Hours: 

• Ensure that you can log into EGMS. Contact your LEA EGMS Administrator to set up access. If your LEA EGMS Administrator needs assistance setting up your account, they should refer to page 17 of the User Guide or email EGMS.Support@k12.wa.us.  

• Coordinate with your LEA EGMS Administrator to ensure that the staff member designated to submit the General Assurances does so for fiscal year 2024, as this is required for pre-application submission.  

For OSSI school-level grants, we encourage both school and LEA-level leaders to attend Office Hours together. School principals will be given EGMS access by the LEA EGMS Administrator so they can manage or co-manage grant applications and budgets throughout the year if suitable; close collaboration between LEAs and school leaders is strongly encouraged to ensure all expenditures support the goals of the school’s School Improvement Plan (SIP). The 2023-24 SIP is not required to complete the pre-application and request for SAS. It is a required upload with the grant application. An LEA-level user must “qualify” the OSSI school-level grant “opportunity". This enables either a school or LEA-level user to create and complete the pre-application, which must be submitted by an LEA-level user. If a school-level user attends Office Hours without an LEA-level user, ensure that the OSSI grant opportunity has been “qualified” beforehand.
