Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
Grants to support the excess costs of students with disabilities that exceed the average expenditure for a general education student
Funds must be used in a manner consistent with the supplement and not supplant and local maintenance of effort requirements of the IDEA.
Some school districts may use up to 50% of the total increase in 2009 IDEA funds to reduce local effort in special education, provided the freed-up local funds are used for ESEA activities and the district does not meet the federal exclusion criteria.
15% of funds may, and in some cases must, be used for “comprehensive early intervening services” (CEIS) for general education students at risk of referral to special education
