2025-2026 School System Planning Resources

Super App is a comprehensive application that allows school systems to plan for their needs, access formula funds, and apply for competitive funds on one timeline. When approved, school systems can access federal formula and competitive dollars and meet the federal requirement for each school system's ESSA plan (20 USC §6312). This application includes funding for the core components of school improvement at Comprehensive Intervention Required (CIR) and Urgent Intervention Required - Academics (UIR-A). To learn more about CIR and UIR labels, refer to the Identification of Struggling Schools document or the list of struggling schools.

View the 2025-2026 Next Level Vision for Success School System Planning and Budgeting Workbook, which includes 2025-2026 Super App questions. 

New for 2025-2026

• The Next Level Vision for Success School System Planning and Budgeting Workbook serves as a one-stop resource for all school system planning needs.
• Super App questions and funding are aligned to the LDOE’s updated educational priorities.
• The updated application in eGMS automates the review process and simplifies the steps of Super App submissions to ensure alignment with ESSA requirements for labeled schools.
• LEAs will be required to identify ESSA-required comprehensive support and improvement (CSI) and targeted support and improvement (TSI) strategies to improve student outcomes through a separate eGMS application.
