Release of School Year 2023-2024 (Fiscal Year 2024) Preliminary Compliance Reviews for IDEA-B LEA MOE

�������� has calculated the school year 2023–2024 (fiscal year 2024) preliminary compliance reviews for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B) local educational agency (LEA) maintenance of effort (MOE). Please use the following steps to find your school system’s preliminary review in the GFFC Reports and Data Collections secure application:

1. Log on to �������� Login ().
2. Select “GFFC Reports and Data Collections.”
3. Select your school system’s name or county-district number (CDN).
4. From the Report Title drop-down menu, select “IDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review.”
5. From the School Year drop-down menu, select “2023–2024.”

�������� has also released the 2023–2024 Exceptions/Adjustment Workbook, which is available in the GFFC Reports and Data Collections secure application and on the IDEA-B LEA MOE page of the �������� website. School systems must use the workbook if they choose to respond to ��������.

LEA Review of ��������’s Preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review

As described in the “To the Administrator Addressed” (TAA) letter dated March 6, 2025, school systems should review their preliminary compliance review and compare it to their own internal MOE calculations. �������� has published a calculation tool on the IDEA-B LEA MOE page of the �������� website so school systems can make these calculations.

LEA Response

Once your school system has made its comparison, select one of the following four options for response:

• Option 1: Accept ��������’s results.
• Option 2: Respond to �������� by submitting exceptions and/or voluntary reduction.
• Option 3: Respond to �������� by requesting a recalculation.
• Option 4: Respond to �������� by submitting an alternate local calculation methodology.

Details about these options and step-by-step instructions are given in this attachment. Please note that Option 1 requires no further action on your part, while the remaining three options require you to submit documentation to and/or communicate with �������� by April 11, 2025.

Do Not Remit Refunds

If the preliminary compliance review shows that your school system is not in compliance with the IDEA-B LEA MOE requirement, your school system may owe a refund to ��������. �������� will notify your school system in the final compliance review if your school system owes a refund and provide additional instructions at that time. Please do not remit refunds to �������� based on the preliminary compliance review.
