OnDataSuite(ODS) released February, 2023 the HB3 Outcome Bonus (CCMR) Graduate Funding Estimates report in Finance and Accountability for tracking, monitoring and projecting Summary of Finance student estimations related to the HB3 CCMR Outcome Bonus allocation.
As of November 6, 2023, ODS updated reporting related to the CCMR Outcome Bonus calculations to incorporate the TEA TEAL Outcome Bonus rosters. For details on the functionality related to uploads of TEA’s CCMR Outcome Bonus files, reference KB article https://kb.ondatasuite.com/knowledge-base/ccmr-outcome-bonus-files/
The TEA final files are a two year lag in release. Ex: August 2023, the 2021 Final CCMR Outcome Bonus files were published by TEA. These reports affect the final Summary of Finance (SOF) funding allocations for 2022-2023. This reporting will only populate if the LEA loads the files in ODS.
ODS offers an ESTIMATE of the CCMR Outcome Bonus funding counts through the latest reported graduates in TSDS PEIMS. Ex: 2023 graduates reported in Fall 2023 provide estimates and review of SOF allocations for 2024-2025 planning.
Locate these reports in Finance and Accountability.
HB3 established this new funding allotment beginning with the 2019-2020 funding year. This particular Summary of Finance (SOF) input is based upon multiple data sources including external sources reporting directly to TEA.
Military Enlisted credit reinstated with 2023 Graduates based upon TEA requirements, reference https://tea.texas.gov/sites/default/files/ccmr-credit-for-military-enlistment-beginning-with-2023-graduates.pdf for details.
OnDataSuite provides functionality to capture all the external data EXCEPT the Higher Ed Enrollment to date as part of the Accountability – CCMR Early Warning System. This particular data source is required for a major portion of the HB3 Outcome Bonus (CCMR) projections. Reference the Report Notes for details on the calculations ODS applies to project this funding estimate count.
