Memo

The Agency of Education has released content area Proficiency-Based Graduation Requirement (PBGR) Hierarchies for grades 9 through 12. The AOE recommends that Supervisory Unions/Districts (SU/SDs) use these Hierarchies as they reflect on the key concepts and skills that students should demonstrate proficiency in within each content area upon graduation.

The purpose of this memo is to provide LEAs with important considerations and an overview of the process to apply for ARP ESSER Liquidation Extension (ALN 84.425U) through the U.S. Department of Education (USED). The liquidation extension process allows LEAs to extend contracted services or the receipt of goods for up to 14 months after the September 30, 2024 deadline (final closeout date of March 28, 2026), as long as certain conditions are met.
