1 5/11/09 1 Overview of the IDEA Recovery Funds American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Special Education Team WI DPI
2 ARRA American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Spend funds quickly to save and create jobs. Improve student achievement through school improvement and reform. Ensure transparency, reporting and accountability. Invest one-time ARRA funds thoughtfully to minimize the funding cliff. 5/11/092
3 Whats a funding cliff? Sustainability Avoid investing ARRA funds into new programs or new staff, or greatly expanding existing programs, that will require local funding when ARRA funds end in 2011. If LEAs wish to hire new staff or create new programs, they should have a plan in place for sustainability. 5/11/093
4 IDEA Recovery Funds Flowed-through the SEA to the LEAs for costs associated with special education Funds must be used in accordance with both IDEA and the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act 5/11/094
5 IDEA Recovery Funds All IDEA recovery funds must be used consistent with the current IDEA statutory and regulatory requirements and applicable requirements in GEPA and EDGAR. Only for the excess costs of providing special education and related services, except where IDEA provides otherwise. 5/11/095
6 IDEA RECOVERY FUNDS ALLOCATIONS 5/11/096
7 IDEA Allocations Single allocation for fiscal year 2009-10 Funds released in three parts 50% IDEA Recovery Funds, March 2009 50% FY 09-10 IDEA flow-through and preschool entitlement funds, July 2009 (typical distribution) Final 50% IDEA Recovery Funds and IDEA flow- through and preschool entitlement funds, October 2009 5/11/097
8 Distribution of IDEA Part B Funds 5/11/098
9 Distribution of LEA funds 5/11/099 Base payments Each district generates a "base amount" equal to data submitted in 1999 (FT) and 1997 (PS) 85% Population Based LEAs submit enrollment on the third Friday of September (ISES data) 15% Poverty Based DPI uses the Title I Poverty Count
10 Example Allocation Calculation 5/11/0910
11 Sometimes Same, Sometimes Different Depending on the topic, the IDEA entitlement and the IDEA recovery funds are treated as combined or as separate. For purposes of calculations, one pot For purposes of budgeting and reporting, treated as two pots 5/11/0911
12 Calculations affecting the funds Entitlement and Recovery treated as one amount: Set-aside for parentally-placed private school children 15% that may be set aside for CEIS 15% that must be set aside for CEIS (districts identified as having significant disproportionality) Calculation of MOE reduction through the 50% rule 5/11/0912
13 Separate Funds DPI must track these funds separately. LEAs must track these funds separately. The IDEA recovery funds may not flow- through a cooperative, each LEA must budget, expend and claim these funds individually. 5/11/0913
14 Separate funds Entitlement and Recovery treated as two amounts: Separate CFDA numbers for recovery funds Separate budgets for recovery funds Separate review of recovery funds Separate claims for recovery funds 5/11/0914
15 CFDA Numbers Flow-through Entitlement: 84.027a Preschool Entitlement: 84.173a Flow-through Recovery: 84.391a Preschool Recovery: 84.392a 5/11/0915

17 IDEA RECOVERY FUNDS TIMELINE 5/11/0917
18 Funding timeline Funds are for FY 2009-2010 LEAs may begin expending IDEA recovery funds on Feb. 17, 2009 (forward funding) LEAs may begin expending IDEA entitlement funds on July 1, 2009 5/11/0918
19 Funding timeline All IDEA assurances, flow-through and preschool budgets must be submitted by July 1, 2009 Final CEIS budgets for either IDEA entitlement or IDEA recovery funds must be submitted by November 1, 2009. 5/11/0919
20 Funding timeline IDEA recovery funds must be obligated by September 30, 2011 There will be no carry-over, this budget will be open from April 1 to September 30, 2011 FY 10 IDEA entitlement must be obligated by September 30, 2011 Funds not expended by June 30, 2010, are carried over into the 2011 fiscal year. 5/11/0920
21 Funding timeline After initial submission, IDEA recovery budgets will be in amendment mode until September 30, 2011. FY 2009-2010 IDEA entitlement budget amendments must be submitted by July 15, 2010. 5/11/0921
22 Grant Award from OSEP DPI received the allocation spreadsheet and grant award document from OSEP on April 1, 2009. DPI uses the established IDEA entitlement allocation calculation to determine funding amounts for LEAs This includes both IDEA entitlement and IDEA recovery funds 5/11/0922
23 Allocation Spreadsheets The IDEA allocation spreadsheets are located at: Flowthrough http://dpi.wi.gov/sped/grt_flow.html Preschool http://dpi.wi.gov/sped/grt_pren.html 5/11/0923
24 FY 09-10 IDEA Budget Software Although the IDEA recovery funds are accounted for separate from the IDEA entitlement funds, both will utilize the current IDEA web-based budget software. On-line budgets for FY 2010 will become available to LEAs after DPI has calculated the allocations. 5/11/0924
25 Claims Timeline LEAs must submit claims quarterly for both the IDEA entitlement and recovery funds. Separate claims will be required for: Entitlement Flow-through Entitlement Preschool Entitlement CEIS Recovery Flow-through Recovery Preschool Recovery CEIS 5/11/0925
26 5/11/0926 Maintenance of Effort (MOE) and the IDEA Recovery Funds.
27 IDEAs MOE Requirements SEA – IDEA prohibits a state from reducing state financial support for special education below the amount of that support for the preceding fiscal year. (34 CFR §300.163) LEAs – IDEA requires that LEAs must budget the same amount of local funding for special education as it expended in the previous fiscal year. (34 CFR §300.203) 5/11/0927
28 IDEAs MOE 50% Rule The 50% rule (34 CFR §300.205 (a)) If an LEA receives an increase in its IDEA flow-through allocation from one fiscal year to the next, the LEA may reduce its MOE obligations by half of the increased amount. Freed-up funds must be used to carry out activities that could be supported with funds under the ESEA (34 CFR §300.205(b)). 5/11/0928
29 Demonstration of IDEAs 50% rule 5/11/0929 FY 2008 Flow-through allocation: $150,000 FY 2008 Flow-through allocation: $150,000 FY 2008 LEA IDEA MOE: $800,000 FY 2008 LEA IDEA MOE: $800,000 FY 2009 Flow-through allocation: $250,000 FY 2009 Flow-through allocation: $250,000 FY 2009 LEAs new level of MOE: $750,000 FY 2009 LEAs new level of MOE: $750,000 50% of $100,000 (the increase) is $50,000. The LEA has the option of reducing its MOE by $50,000. 50% of $100,000 (the increase) is $50,000. The LEA has the option of reducing its MOE by $50,000.
30 Supplement/Not Supplant & IDEAs MOE 50% Rule IF an LEA reduces its MOE through the 50% rule THEN the LEA can move previously funded local costs to the Federal grant BUT must spend the total amount of freed- up funds on ESEA supported activities 5/11/0930
31 FY 2009 LEAs new level of MOE: $750,000 FY 2009 LEAs new level of MOE: $750,000 5/11/0931 FY 2008 Flow-through allocation: $150,000 FY 2008 Flow-through allocation: $150,000 FY 2008 LEA IDEA MOE: $800,000 FY 2008 LEA IDEA MOE: $800,000 FY 2009 Flow-through allocation: $250,000 FY 2009 Flow-through allocation: $250,000 The LEA reduced its MOE by $50,000 (50% of the increase) $50,000 of special education costs previously covered by local dollars moved to the IDEA flow-through budget $50,000 of freed-up funds must be spent on activities that support ESEA
32 What? How? But I thought… A 1992 amendment to the IDEA regulations removed the particular cost test The particular cost test was the literal translation of supplanting – if local funds were used for a teachers salary one year and federal funds were used the next year for the same salary, a violation of supplanting had occurred If an LEA maintains MOE, it will not violate the SNS requirements of the IDEA 5/11/0932
33 One-time opportunity The IDEA recovery funds are awarded for one fiscal year only, so this increase will only be present in FY 2009-10. LEAs that wish to take advantage of this opportunity must reflect this in the 2009-10 PI 1504 and PI 1505 reports. 5/11/0933
34 Reminders Any funds budgeted for CEIS activities in fiscal year 2009-10 will reduce the LEAs amount available for MOE reduction. CEIS activities are ESEA supported, so any IDEA dollars budgeted for CEIS must be deducted from the amount an LEA could have reduced their MOE through the 50% rule (34 CFR §300.205(d)). 5/11/0934
35 Reminders Total amount of funds freed-up through the 50% rule must be spent on activities that support ESEA and those activities must be reported to DPI. If reduced through the 50% rule, the LEAs MOE remains at that reduced amount until the LEA increases its local costs through its own volition. 5/11/0935

37 5/11/0937 Equitable Services Set-Aside and the IDEA Recovery Funds
38 Equitable Services Set-Aside LEAs must base the calculation on the combined amounts of both IDEA recovery funds and the IDEA entitlement to determine the average allocation per child. 5/11/0938
39 Flow-through 5/11/0939 LEAs Flow-through Allocation Total Number of Eligible Children ages 3 to 21 Average allocation per eligible child This is not calculated or collected by DPI # of parentally placed private school children w/ disabilities 4 to 21 in private schools located in the LEA Total number of students eligible for special education attending BOTH public and private school. DPI does not collect this number. Flow-through amount to be expended for parentally placed private school children with disabilities

DPI does not collect this number. Preschool amount to be expended for parentally placed private school children with disabilities
42 Consultation with Private Schools LEAs must engage in timely and meaningful consultation with private schools on how funds will be spent. New consultations must be conducted if IDEA recovery funds have not been addressed with the private schools. 5/11/0942
43 Equitable Services Set-Aside If an LEA does not expend the funds made available in a fiscal year for equitable services to parentally placed private school children with disabilities, the LEA must obligate the remaining funds for special education and related services for this group of children during the carry over period of one additional year (34 CFR §300.133(a)(3)) Any unspent funds after this one additional year are returned). 5/11/0943
