Maintenance of Effort (MOE) is a fiscal requirement that requires local educational agencies (LEAs, which includes ISDs and Open-Enrollment Charter Schools) to maintain their state and local expenditures at a specified level from one fiscal year to the next. The regulations for ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) MOE and IDEA-B (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B) MOE differ.
ESSA MOE, presented by Alex Dominguez:
During this portion of the training, participants will gain an understanding of the fiscal requirements for ESSA MOE.
IDEA-B MOE, presented by Denise Dusek:
The majority of the training will focus on IDEA-B MOE. Participants will gain an understanding of the fiscal requirements for IDEA-B MOE and how to monitor compliance throughout the year.
