For Last-Minute Filers – Block 4 Reminders

Block 4 Worksheets

In Block 4, you create a worksheet for each group of entities sharing a service. You then cite the appropriate worksheet on each Block 5 funding request.

Each entity receiving service must have an entity number. (See the tips for Block 1 if you need to request entity numbers.) If an entity is receiving service only for itself, you can cite that entity’s entity number as long as the entity appears on a worksheet.

  • Schools fill out one or more school worksheets ("Worksheet A").
  • Libraries fill out one or more library worksheets ("Worksheet B").
  • Consortia fill out one or more consortium worksheets ("Worksheet C") by first completing worksheets for each of their members ("Preparatory Worksheet A" for school members and/or "Preparatory Worksheet B" for library members)

You will need the following information:

  • Entity name
  • Entity number
  • NCES code (for a school) or FSCS code (for a library), if available
  • Urban or rural status
  • For a school, the total number of students in the school; for a library, the total number of students in the public school district in which the library is located
  • For a school, the total number of students in the school eligible for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP); for a library, the total number of students eligible for NSLP in the public school district in which the library is located (see Alternative Discount Mechanisms for alternatives to NSLP data)
  • If the entity is considered new construction or a non-instructional facility (NIF)
  • Other demographic information (note that Items 9 and 10 are only relevant for a small portion of filers and these items can be skipped if they are not applicable)
