that process, if it chooses to do so. 

Likewise, the process for requesting 

waivers related to the provision of SES 

to eligible students attending Title I 

schools in the first year of improvement 

must begin at this time in order for 

LEAs to have sufficient time to 

appropriately plan their implementation 

of SES. In all three cases, without 

emergency approval, States and LEAs 

will not be able to take advantage of the 

flexibility the Secretary is offering 

regarding these provisions for the 

upcoming school year because ED 

would not be able to provide 

information regarding how to apply for 

a waiver until it is too late. 

Concerning MOE, in accordance with 

ED’s MOE regulations for ESEA 

programs (including Title I, part A) 

covered by the MOE requirements, 

States will soon begin identifying those 

LEAs that failed to maintain effort in SY 

2008–09. Section 9521(c) of the ESEA 

gives the Secretary the authority to 

waive the MOE requirements if an LEA 

experiences an exceptional or 

uncontrollable circumstance or 

experiences a precipitous decline in its 

financial resources. Due to the state of 

the economy during SY 2008–09, ED 

expects many more LEAs will have 

experienced a precipitous decline in 

their financial resources or an 

exceptional or uncontrollable 

circumstance than in prior years, 

causing them to miss maintaining effort 

and in turn to seek an MOE waiver from 

ED. Given these circumstances, the 

planned waiver guidance specifies the 

process States may use to obtain MOE 

waivers from ED for their LEAs. In order 

for this process to begin in a timely 

fashion, ED needs emergency approval 

of the information collection activities 

in the guidance associated with MOE 

waivers.
