RE:  Base Year for District Level Maintenance of Effort


Yesterday, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) at the US Department of Education released guidance rescinding their previously issued guidance regarding the base year for district level MOE requirements when a district fails to meet MOE. The letter from OSEP is attached.

Based on the current guidance from OSEP, ODE has revised the Special Education Finance Q&A and the MOE Q&A. Those documents along with the attached letter have been posted at this link: http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?=3069.

Starting with the 2010-11 MOE audits, which will begin shortly, the base year for MOE will be the last year in which a district met MOE. In most cases, this will be the MOE amount from 2009-10.

If you have any questions regarding this message, please contact Steve Smith at steve.w.smith at state.or.us<mailto:steve.w.smith at state.or.us> or 503.947.5711.


Thank you.
