On June 26, 2026, TEA received a letter from USDE stating they were reverting all states back to the pre-March 28 status for ARP liquidation extensions due to a pending lawsuit from multiple states that has caused fairness and uniformity issues in the ARP Liquidation Extension implementation across states.
This means that TEA can reinstate the EANS and GAPS Liquidation Extension projects, for now. It is important to note that this reinstatement only applies until the existing court case is resolved and TEA has no way of knowing how long this reinstatement will last. If the court case is resolved and USDE reinstates the March 28 letter, then we still have the reconsideration request in progress, but everything would be suspended again.
Any documentation for allowable expenditures submitted to ClassWallet during this time must continue to be allowable, legal expenditures under the original liquidation extension and submitted on a timely, ongoing basis. Note that the manual process at TEA and USDE for these payments will remain slower than usual.

ARP EANS.GAPS Liquidation Extension Information (9.17.24) for PNPs.pdfEANS II and GAPS (GEER) Liquidation Extension Request was Approved
On Wednesday, September 11th, The Texas Education Agency (TEA) received official notice from the U.S. Department of Education that the ARP EANS II and GAPS (GEER) Liquidation Extension request was approved. This approval allows for Private Non-Profit (PNP) schools to continue to receive services until the end of January 2026.
The purpose of the GEER Grants is to provide services or assistance to eligible private nonprofit schools (PNPs) to address educational disruptions caused by COVID-19. By creating a separate reservation of funds for this purpose, Congress reiterated the need for PNPs to participate in emergency education relief programs by establishing a separate program under GEER II, rather than relying on the equitable services requirements that typically apply to elementary and secondary formula grant programs. Consequently, school districts are not required to provide equitable services for funds received under the CRRSA Act, though equitable services requirements continue to apply to CARES Act ESSER I program.
