Sessions on May 2nd begin with a discussion of key developments on Capitol Hill and at the U.S. Education Department. The legislative session will be followed by remarks from officials at FEMA on matters relating to UGG compliance with federal procurement, including the permissibility of piggybacking, reliance on the emergency exception to competition, and cooperative purchasing programs. Officials from the Office of Inspector General at the U.S. Education Department will then address their priorities, and recent audits and investigations. The first day ends with a focus on the specific responsibilities that the U.S. Education Department has assigned to State Education Agencies (i.e., grantee) and to LEAs and IHEs (i.e., subgrantee) on audit resolution.
