We are
pleased to announce that reimbursement requests and object code budget
transfers for two additional grants may now be submitted via the Virginia Department
of Educations Online Management of Education Grant Awards (OMEGA) system:
OMEGA user
set up forms with instructions, a detailed Users Guide, and access to online
training opportunities are available at http://www.doe.virginia.gov/VDOE/omega/.
Please mail the completed user set up forms to the following
address no later than October 6, 2006:
Department
of Education
Attn:
Accounting Department
A minimum of two user permission forms must be submitted by each school division because someone other than the transaction originator approves each request before it is submitted to the Department of Education. We have established the Approval Queue with the minimum requirement of one Level 3 Approver for each type of request. The number of required local approvals for any Approval Level may be revised by the local OMEGA Maintenance User before any transactions are input, or at any time when there are no active requests. Please refer to the online instructions referenced above for assistance with establishing your school divisions approval queue.
It is expected that paper copies of reimbursement and object code transfer requests for these two grants will not be accepted after December 4, 2006.
As additional grants become available for reimbursement through OMEGA, you will be notified by Superintendents Memorandum. Your divisions input continues to be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Marie G. Williams, accounting director, at marie.Williams@doe.virginia.gov or at 804-225-2040 or contact OMEGA Support at Omega.Support@doe.virginia.gov or at 804-371-0993.
