[Busmgrs] High Cost Disability Grant

[KREIN Adam - ODE]

Good Afternoon

The 17/18 High Cost disability grant payments were initially paid based on district estimates from the 18/19 estimate of membership and revenue. The Grant is then reconciled based on actual data submitted in the 17/18 High Cost Disability grant collection that closed in March 2019. Last year, districts were paid a 50% reimbursement based on claims of $68 Million. However, the latest claims came in at $217 Million and decreased payout to 41%. The concern here, is the difference of $148 Million dollars between what districts estimated for high cost and what they claimed in the actuals collection.  This creates large swings in the grant payments from year to year.  I'd like to ask districts to please keep an eye on this and double check what is being reported compared to the previous year actual data.

You can view the grant payments here:

These payments will be in the May State school fund.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns

Together in service to students,
