This resource is intended to outline the steps to complete the General Supervision System Grant (GSSG) Final Report activity in Catamaran.
The GSSG Final report is due to MDE by June 1, 2025.
Note: The GSSG Final Report will only appear on the ISD Director’s Tasks Overview. It is the responsibility of the ISD Director to submit the final report to MDE. ISD personnel in either the ISD Monitor or ISD Business Official role in Catamaran will only be allowed to edit forms at the discretion of the ISD Director.

Review Resources
Before completing the GSSG Final Report Form, the ISD may wish to review its submitted application and budget detail. The ISD may also review additional materials in the Resources box.
The 2024-25 GSSG Activity includes the submitted 2024-25 Application (Download) on the menu.
Additionally, the ISD may also visit NexSys to access other GSSG related materials, such as the budget detail.
Complete GSSG Final Report
- On the General Supervision System Grant Menu, select the GSSG Final Report Form link.
- Complete each section of the form, using Save or Save/Next to progress to each section. Each report is organized into separate sections with questions related to the following:
- Getting Started
- General Supervision Activities
- Priority Area
- Fiscal
Note: To navigate back and forth between sections, use the navigation menu on the left of the page.
- It is recommended to review all sections of the report prior to submitting to MDE. To do so, download a full summary of the final report by either,
- Selecting the Download Full Final Report Summary button within the form or
- Selecting the 2024-25 GSSG Final Report (Download) page from the activity menu.
Submit the GSSG Final Report
- Verify that each section of the final report has been completed.
- Submit the GSSG Final Report Form to MDE for review by selecting the Submit to MDE button at the top of the Fiscal page.
Note: If the ISD receives a page error while submitting the final report, this means that one or more questions were not completed. Follow the instructions in the page error to complete the question(s) as needed.
What's Next?
The GSSG Final Report is now complete and submitted. MDE will review all final reports for evidence of progress and accept the reports. If any concerns are identified, MDE will return the final report to the ISD. ISDs should check the MDE Comments box on the Getting Started page of the final report for additional information. Once MDE accepts the final report, the status Final Report Accepted by MDE will be displayed in the status history. Catamaran will then advance the GSSG Activity to GSSG Activity Completed.
If MDE returns the GSSG Final Report Form, update the form, and then resubmit (following steps 6-7). The status will change to Final Report Resubmitted to MDE.
