it did not meet the compliance standard in that year. If it did not meet the compliance standard in the prior fiscal year, then the standard for comparison is the last fiscal year the compliance standard was met for that method of compliance. The four methods to meet both eligibility and compliance standards are as follows: • Combined state and local expenditures; • Combined state and local expenditures on a per capita basis; • Local expenditures only; and • Local expenditures only on a per capita basis. A Charter LEA may reduce the level of expenditures below that of the preceding subsequent year only if the reduction is attributable to one or more of the following exceptions: a. Voluntary departure, by retirement or otherwise, or departure for just cause, of special education or related service personnel; b. A decrease in the enrollment of children with disabilities; c. The termination of the obligation of the agency to provide a program of special education to a particular child with a disability that is an exceptionally costly program, as determined by the State Education Agency (SEA), because the child: 1. Has left the jurisdiction of the agency; 2. Has reached the age at which the obligation of the agency to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to the child has terminated; or 3. No longer needs the program of special education. d. The termination of costly expenditures for long-term purchases, such as the acquisition of equipment or the construction of school facilities; and/or e. The assumption of cost by the high-cost fund operated by the SEA under Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations § 300.704(c). At the close of a fiscal year, any Charter LEA that does not meet SEMA (actual to actual) compliance will have their federal funding allocation adjusted to ensure the SELPA-wide SEMA is met. Any Charter LEA that fails to pass SEMB (budget to actuals), will not be eligible to receive federal grant funding in the budgeted fiscal year until their budget has been revised and DMCS can verify SEMB is met.
