Supplement / Not Su Supplement / Not Supplant pplant Definition: Replacing previously existing costs with federal dollars. For special education, there is no supplement / not supplant provision with IDEA funds if an LEA is meeting maintenance of effort requirements.  Since these are technically special education funds, the supplement / not supplant rules apply to the set-aside rather than the supplement / not supplant rules of the Title I-A program.

TI Set-Asi TI Set Aside de & Flow & Flow-throug through Each LEA will need to address / discuss concerns that IDEA funds are being spent on regular education activities as opposed to special education activities.  With a strong multi-level system of support in place, LEAs should see a decrease in the number of students identified as needing special education programming.  Results Drive Accountability – Literacy – this flexibility could support LEAs looking for ways to strengthen the general education instruction for students with disabilities.

Coordi Coordinated nated Ea Early rly Interv Intervening ening Serv Services ices Funding for supports and services for students who need academic or behavioral help to succeed in general education but who have not been identified as students with disabilities.

Some LEAs are required to use 15% of their IDEA Part B grant allocation on a CEIS set-aside because of findings made by DPI.
