From Laura.Allran at state.or.us Thu Feb 19 12:07:44 2009 From: Laura.Allran at state.or.us (ALLRAN Laura) Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2009 12:07:44 -0800 Subject: [SE-Dir] FW: OSL&P: IMPORTANT CHANGES TO NOTE Message-ID: TO: All District and ESD Special Education Directors The message below is being sent to you on behalf of: Nancy Latini, PhD Assistant Superintendent Student Learning & Partnerships ______________________________________________ February 19, 2009 RE: IMPORTANT CHANGES TO NOTE You may know that the Department has cancelled the March COSA/ODE special education conference in Salem. The reason is that registration was very low and it was suspected that the current economic education issues would make it very difficult for many of you to travel. We will plan to make up for this cancellation by scheduling a video conference in the next few weeks on some of the critical issues we were planning to present --- fiscal and charter schools. Please know that the May conference planned for Eugene is also being cancelled and another video conference will be held. The Special Education Director Advisory will still be held on February 27.

You will find a summary of the expected overall increase in funding, what the Maintenance of Effort will be, and the issues of supplement/supplant. This information came to us from a very credible source (Council of State Chief School Officers) and is the clearest description I have seen to date. This will not answer all of your questions but will give you a start on thinking about the funding. The Department is awaiting a fuller explanation from the federal offices, but we do not expect much until next week. From all that we hear, we assume that the funding will be part of your regular IDEA flow through allocation, but we are still uncertain of even that. Know that we will continue to send relevant information as we receive it. Thanks for all you do. This is a very busy and very difficult time for all of us. Keep in touch and stay strong!!!
