<div><b>Excess Cost Calculation</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial, sans-serif">This is a <b>final reminder </b>that <b>excess cost calculations must be completed by close of business on March 31, 2009</b>. We extended the completion date by nearly two months this year, but still have a good number outstanding.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, sans-serif">It is vitally important that this calculation be completed and submitted on time, particularly in view of the fact that a district cannot spend its IDEA grant, or will have to repay what has been spent, for 2008-2009 without
meeting the excess cost requirement.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, sans-serif">Please remember that one original hard copy, signed and dated by an authorized official of your district, should be submitted. <b>Please send directly to:</b></font></div>
