This resource is intended to outline the steps to complete the General Supervision System Grant (GSSG) Mid-Year Progress Report activity in Catamaran.
The GSSG Mid-Year Progress Report is due to the MDE by January 7, 2022.
Note: The GSSG Mid-Year Progress Report will only appear on the ISD Director’s Tasks Overview. It is the responsibility of the ISD Director to submit the mid-year progress 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.

The GSSG Mid-Year Progress Report is now complete and submitted! Once the MDE accepts the mid-year progress report, the status Mid-Year Report Accepted by MDE will be displayed in the status history. Catamaran will then advance the GSSG Activity to Continue GSSG Activities so the ISD may continue working on grant activities.
Note: If the ISD receives a page error while submitting the mid-year progress report, this means that one or more questions was not completed. Follow the instructions in the page error to complete the question(s) as needed.
If the MDE returns the GSSG Mid-Year Progress Report, update the form, and then resubmit within one week from the modifications request notification date (following steps 7 and 8). The new status will change to Mid-Year Report Resubmitted to MDE.
