The Department will review significant disproportionality calculations and the agency's plan to notify districts that have significant disproportionality in special education identification, placement, and/or discipline by race and ethnicity.
The Department will discuss the requirements that districts identified as having significant disproportionality reserve 15 percent of federal IDEA Part B funds for Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS) to address the disproportionality. This requirement will impact Fund Codes 240 and 262 for identified districts, beginning with the FY 21 grant cycle.
