To align with the Federal Uniform Guidance and Illinois' Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA), periodic performance reports are required for all grants. The reports include information on the accomplishment of deliverables described in the grant, the status of performance measures, and the alignment of accomplishments to date with spending to date. ISBE implements the periodic performance-reporting requirement through an IWAS‐based system that incorporates the required information fields. Reports in the Grant Periodic Reporting System (GPRS) are completed on an annual basis.
ISBE has aligned the FY26 GPRS reporting timeline with the Illinois Grantee Compliance Enforcement System (GCES). Separate timelines are provided for grantees with and without an approved extension.
Questions regarding
GPRS report content should be directed to the appropriate ISBE program grant manager. Questions regarding the
timeline should be directed to
