What is the Intersection between the MOE Adjustment and ARRA Funds?
The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 allows for increased federal funding for education through a variety of funding streams. The IDEA stimulus funds available through ARRA are available in addition to the FY2010 flow-through IDEA B allocation to LEAs. As increased funding, 50% of the ARRA amount can be applied as the MOE Adjustment to reduce the state and local MOE funding level required in current and future years. In order to take advantage of the MOE Adjustment with ARRA funds the LEA must meet requirements of IDEA Part B including meeting all targets in the state’s performance plan and not identified as having significant disproportionality in special education based on race and ethnicity.
