The Federal Office of Special Education Programs has oversight of states’ compliance with federal special education regulations and requirements. The Office of Special Education Programs has incorporated a component of its compliance monitoring verification visits to include a fiscal verification review. Some components of its fiscal verification review will include a review of the use of funds for coordinated early intervening services, maintenance of effort, and general use of federal, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B) funds.

To assist the local educational agencies in working with these components of the federal on-site visits, the Pennsylvania Department of Education provides training to familiarize special education directors and business administrators with clarifying information. This required training addresses the following topics: IDEA -B, 611, Contingency Funding, ACT 16, Maintenance of Effort, Medical ACCESS, and Approved Private School Electronic Management System (APSEM).

Objectives

Participants will:

• Review IDEA processes and procedures related to fiscal compliance.

• Discuss the data verifications associated with the reporting requirements.
• Navigate online systems.
