This session has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation.
[Originally rescheduled from 3/23/20 to 3/26/20. Then, due to TEA's goal of releasing preliminary analysis reports around mid-March, the workshop was rescheduled to 3/16/20. It was then cancelled.]
This is the version for attending in person. If you wish to attend via ZOOM (webinar), please register for session #61005 instead.
Maintenance of Effort (MOE) is a federal fiscal requirement for any local educational agency (LEA, which includes ISDs and Open-Enrollment Charter Schools), that receives Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B (IDEA-B) funds.
The MOE requirement is applicable as well to members of a special education shared services arrangement (SSA) whose Fiscal Agent receives the IDEA-B funds on their behalf.
All participants will have an opportunity to perform a guided hands-on activity for understanding how to use TEA's MOE Calculation Tool, using sample data.
Participants will also have an opportunity to determine their own LEA-specific Preliminary compliance for Fiscal Year 2019. ESC-20 will provide one set of LEA-specific data reports for each Region 20 LEA represented (if you register by March 5, 2020).
If you are from an LEA outside of Region 20, please contact Denise Dusek for a list of documents to bring to the workshop, if you are interested in using local data for the compliance analysis.
Please bring your laptop to the workshop.
Lunch on your own.

Recommended Credit Hours: CPAs and TASBO-certified participants, who attend in person, may earn approximately 5 credit hours. These participants must sign in and out on a specialized sign-in sheet and will receive a specialized certificate of attendance via email from ESC-20.
