What are the timeframes for use of IDEA Recovery funds?
The funding cycle for the IDEA Recovery funds is February 17, 2009, (the date ARRA was signed) through September 30, 2011. The IDEA Recovery budgets will not be re-set on July 1, 2010. After initial submission, IDEA Recovery budgets will be in amendment mode until September 30, 2011. LEAs will have until then to obligate the IDEA Recovery funds. There will be no carry-over after this date. Recovery funds not obligated by this date will be returned to the U.S. Department of Education.
