OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
The special education
finance program administers the state’s special education funding laws in 16 V.S.A.
chapter 101. The current state funding formula for K-12 services is a reimbursement
system. Reporting requirements include the submission of a service plan projecting
the cost of special education for the upcoming year as well as expenditure reports
during the year of actual costs incurred. Program staff review expenditure reports
submitted by Vermont school districts and calculate the amount of state assistance,
perform audits of the special education expenditure reports to ensure that the information
reported is accurate and properly documented, and oversee the distribution of federal
IDEA-B and PreSchool Flow Through funds to supervisory unions. Program staff also
work with the Office of Vermont Health Access on the School-based Health Services
Program which allows schools to generate Medicaid reimbursement for the health-related
services provided to special education students who are enrolled in Medicaid and
receive eligible services in accordance with their individualized education plans
(IEPs). |
