What action will the DPI take if the LEA has not complied with the MOE requirement after the end of the fiscal year?
After the end of the fiscal year, the DPI tests whether an LEA has complied with the MOE requirement by comparing data from the Special Education Annual Reports from the immediate past year and the prior year. If an LEA did not comply with the MOE requirement, the DPI is required to pay the U.S. Department of Education an amount equal to the amount of the short-fall in required local fiscal special education effort. The DPI, in turn, will recover that amount from the LEA. The amount cannot be paid with federal funds.
