Managing resources for Students with Disabilities through fiscal conversations around Federal Funding: IDEA Part B 611/619, ARP IDEA Part B 611/619, and Special Education Activities  (Recovery, Bonus Populations, Dyslexia) – a follow up to the Fiscal Summit of November 2021.

The CT State Department of Education’s Bureau of Special Education (BSE), IDEA Fiscal Manager Thomas Boudreau will offer LEAs the opportunity to check in on the current state of the plan developed during the Fiscal Summit of November 2021.  He will discuss the current funding circumstances and educational environment that the LEA’s of CT are experiencing – along with strategies for reengaging the plan (modifications or new objectives) in order to ensure federal funding allocations for Students with Disabilities are being utilized. 

Be prepared to examine the District’s plan, accomplishable objectives and management timeline for the next school year, in order to have a successful actualization of the one-time funding opportunities and further implementation of IDEA Part B and ARP IDEA Part B Sections 611/619. 

After the session, teams will be offered a voluntarily sign up for a brief “fiscal conversation” with the BSE (to occur over the next few months), to ensure that objectives are on track and come away with confidence that the LEA is expending resources to support students with disabilities for improved outcomes.
