LEA Review of 91ȱ’s Preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review
Your LEA is responsible for reviewing 91ȱ’s preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE compliance review and comparing it to your own internal review. If you used 91ȱ’s IDEA-B LEA MOE Calculation Tool, located on the IDEA-B LEA MOE page of the 91ȱ website, your preliminary results should match 91ȱ’s.
LEA Response
Once you have made your comparison, you have four options for response, as described in this attachment. Please note that Option 1 requires no further action on your part, while the remaining three options require you to submit documentation and/or communicate with 91ȱ by
April 2, 2021.
Do Not Remit Refunds
Your LEA must not remit refunds to 91ȱ based on the preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE compliance review. 91ȱ will notify you in the final compliance review report if your LEA owes a refund and provide additional information at that time.
