This document was created to assist LEAs in completing the Consolidated Federal Programs (CFP) Data Inventory, which must be submitted annually in support of the CFP application. This document describes the statutory background of the Data Inventory, summarizes key updates from the previous version, and provides general instructions for completing each part.

Per requirements in Every Student Succeeds Act and federal uniform grants guidance, LEAs must assess local needs in direct support of Consolidated Federal Program (CFP) investments (2 CFR § 200.403; ESEA 1114(b)(6); ESEA 2102(b)(2); ESEA 4106(c)(d)). In LEAs where schools operate Title I Schoolwide Programs, needs assessments must include school-level findings concerning the needs of students most at-risk to not meet state academic standards (ESEA 1114(b)(6)). The Data Inventory was designed to support LEAs in meeting these federal requirements in a single document, as well as to support LEAs in developing cohesive and effective strategies for CFP fund use.
