The ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ (ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ) has calculated 2020–2021 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 LEA’s preliminary review in the GFFC Reports and Data Collections secure application:

  1. Log on to .
  2. Select β€œGFFC Reports and Data Collections.”
  3. Select your LEA’s name or county-district number (CDN).
  4. From the Report Title drop-down menu, select β€œIDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review.”
  5. From the School Year drop-down menu, select β€œ2020–2021.”

ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ has also released the 2020–2021 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 ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ website. LEAs must use the workbook if they choose to respond to ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ.

 

LEA Review of ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ’s Preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review

As described in the β€œTo the Administrator Addressed” letter dated 3/3/22, LEAs should review their preliminary compliance review and compare it to their own internal MOE calculations. ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ has published a calculation tool on the IDEA-B LEA MOE page of the ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ website so LEA’s can make these calculations.

 

LEA Response

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

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

Here are details about these options and step-by-step instructions. 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 ΑρΑ«ΚΣΖΑ by April 8, 2022.

 

Do Not Remit Refunds

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