Recovery funds must all be expended by September 30, 2011. When the funding is no longer available, LEAs must continue to ensure all children with disabilities have available to them free appropriate public education (FAPE), including all of the services in their IEPs. Services may only be reduced based upon the needs of students, as determined by IEP teams. After all Recovery funds are expended, LEAs may fund allowable special education activities with regular IDEA funds, including any funds carried over from the previous year. LEAs may expend local funds and receive state special education categorical aid. Note that an increase in state and local expenditures will increase required MOE in the next and subsequent fiscal years.
