What is MOE?
300.203 An LEA complies with Maintenance of
Effort for purposes of establishing the LEAs
eligibility for an award for a fiscal year if the
LEA budgets for the education of children with
disabilities, at least the same or total or per
capita amount from either local funds or the
combination of state and local funds as the LEA
spent for the education of children with
disabilities for the most recent prior year for
which information is available.
To Paraphrase MOE means the district spent the
same (or greater) amount of local and state funds
on special education as it did the previous year.
