I further certify that any ensuing program and activity will be conducted in accordance with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations, application guidelines and instructions, the Provisions and Assurances, Debarment and Suspension, lobbying requirements, Special Provisions and Assurances, and the schedules attached as applicable.

Fiscal agent provides services only to member LEAs (does not flow funds or provide payments of any kind to member LEAs).</p><p> b. Fiscal agent flows funds or provides payments to member LEAs.</p><p> c. Fiscal agent provides services to member LEAs and flows funds or provides payments to member LEAs.</p><p>IMPORTANT INFORMATION</p><p>Services to Other LEAs/ESCs If an LEA/ESC provides services only to member districts, then the Fiscal Agent will list the cost of these services on the appropriate budget schedules under the Fiscal Agent Amount, but will not place any amount in any column referring to flow-through funds. For example, if Region 99 ESC provides tutors on campuses in three school districts, then Region 99 ESC is the fiscal agent for the SSA and will list those tutors on the appropriate budget schedule as either employees or contractors with Region 99 ESC. The three districts are member LEAs and will complete Schedule #8. There will be no costs listed in the flow-through column. </p><p>Contracts with Other LEAs/ESCs If an LEA or ESC only contracts with other LEAs/ESCs to provide specific services, and budgets funds for these services on Schedule #6200, and does not flow funds to other LEAs and/or ESCs using schedules other than #6200, then this is not an SSA. The applicant should complete the Single-LEA application. If an LEA or ESC contracts with other LEAs/ESCs to provide services AND engages in other activities where funds flow through to other LEAs and/or ESCs, then the applicant should complete the SSA application but list only those member LEAs that receive flow-through funds. For example, if Region 66 ESC contracts with Corvette ISD and Thunderbird ISD to provide a tutoring program using Schedule #6200, and Region 66 ESC also flows funds to Rainbow ISD, Thunder ISD, and Sunny ISD, then the SSA would include only Region 66 ESC as the fiscal agent and Rainbow, Thunder, and Sunny ISDs as the member LEAs. Corvette and Thunderbird ISDs are considered vendors, not member LEAs.</p><p>2RFA #ESCR-10 (SSA Application) H2015-17(1) REGION 10 EDUCATION SERVICE CENTER Texas Support for Homeless Education Program (TEXSHEP), 2015-2017: Year One</p><p>County-District No.: ESC Region No.: Project No./NOGA ID No.: </p><p>SCHEDULE #2: Contact Information for SSA Fiscal Agent—Include in Application</p><p>Superintendent, ESC Director, or CEO (Name and Title):</p><p>Mailing Address:</p><p>City: Zip:</p><p>Office Phone: *Cell Phone: Fax: Email:</p><p>TEXSHEP Contact (Name and Title):</p><p>Mailing Address:</p><p>City: Zip:</p><p>Office Phone: *Cell Phone: Fax: Email:</p><p>Homeless Liaison, if different from TEXSHEP Contact, (Name and Title):</p><p>Mailing Address:</p><p>City: Zip:</p><p>Office Phone: *Cell Phone: Fax: Email:</p><p>Business Office Contact (Name and Title):</p><p>Mailing Address:</p><p>City: Zip:</p><p>Office Phone: *Cell Phone: Fax: Email:</p><p>IMPORTANT NOTES: If the liaison(s) named above have not registered on the Texas Homeless Education Office’s (THEO) website, please do so by visiting the THEO website at http://www.utdanacenter.org/theo and following the instructions at the very bottom of the News section, which is located on the homepage.</p><p>*The information on this page is for use by Region 10 or its designee only.

The participating or intermediate education agency named below has been designated as the administrative and fiscal agent for this project and is authorized to receive and expend funds for the conduct of this project. The fiscal agent is accountable for all shared services arrangement activities and is therefore responsible for ensuring that all funds including payments to members of shared services arrangements are expended in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. All participating agencies have entered into a written shared services agreement which describes the responsibilities of the fiscal agent and SSA members, including the refund liability that may result from on- site monitoring or audits and the final disposition of equipment, facilities, and materials purchased for this project from funds specified below. It is understood that the fiscal agent is responsible for the refund for any exceptions taken as a result of on-site monitoring or audits; however, based upon the SHARED SERVICES AGREEMENT, which must be on file with the fiscal agent for review, the fiscal agent may have recourse to the member agencies where the discrepancy(ies) occurred. All funds are released when the tentative entitlement is released, i.e., any additional funds that result from the maximum entitlement or from reallocation will not require additional signatures.
