The Department of Education has announced an update to grant award notices to ensure they follow the 2024 changes to federal award guidelines. These changes apply only to grants given after October 1, 2024, and clarify that earlier grants are governed by the rules in place when they were awarded. This update resolves confusion caused by an earlier notice that tried to apply new rules retroactively. Grant recipients don’t need to take any action but should keep this notice for their records.
Simple Explanation
The Education Department updated the rules for giving out money to schools, and they want to make sure everyone knows the new rules only count for money given out after a certain date, not before. This way, people won't be confused about which rules to follow!
