Planning for FFY 2021 is in process. MASSDE begins its planning for each fiscal year in October of the preceding year and has been planning for these funds since October 2020. Our entire planning process will be completed by the end of May 2021. During this period, MASSDE reviews data from our general oversight programs, input from constituent groups, and information from our various planning and accountability processes including a review of planned activities articulated in our State Performance Plan. Opportunities for input occurred and will continue to occur through participation in planning for our State Performance Plan and Annual Performance Report, and in working group discussions related to each of the Indicators, discussions with our State Advisory Council and our State Steering Committee, as well as discussions and review of current funded programs with key constituents. LEAs, parents and other constituent groups are represented on our state advisory council for special education and our state special education steering committee and on State Performance Plan working groups.
