Purpose
|
Emergency funds are limited in both amount and scope. These funds will be granted only upon demonstration that the Public Education Agency is in fiscal difficulty due to situations involving students who are eligible for special education services but whose enrollment was not anticipated during the normal budget planning process. The most common situation is the unexpected enrollment of a child with significant disabilities requiring service over and above those provided by the Public Education Agency. Other circumstances will be considered on a case by case basis.
This funding is for a single school year only and cannot be continued beyond the fiscal year for which funding is requested. All unexpended funds must be returned to the Arizona Department of Education, Exceptional Student Services (ADE/ESS). Additionally, the amount of expended emergency funds may be deducted from any IDEA Entitlement carryover that the Public Education Agency has for the following year.
