Policy – Category 3000 (Business and Noninstructional Operations) BP 3002 – Fiscal Allocation Plan
10.1.1 MOE Submission Timeline:
• The DMCS will send each Charter LEA a spreadsheet file, which includes their SEMA, SEMB, and Subsequent Year Worksheets, along with instructions, no later than September 15th of each fiscal year. • Charter LEAs will complete the required information and return the file along with the signed Certification page and the signed Subsequent Year Worksheet to the DMCS no later than October 15th of each fiscal year. • Charter LEAs will sign and send LEA Certification page to the DMCS Program Manager or Business Consultant. • When appropriate, Charter LEAs will submit the Exception Worksheet to DMCS by October 15th of each fiscal year. • DMCS will submit all individual Charter LEA and SELPA-wide SEMA and SEMB required documents to the California Department of Education (CDE) by November 15th of each fiscal year. DMCS business staff will review each Charter LEA’s special education expenditures throughout the fiscal year to ensure MOE compliance is met based on First Interim budgeted expenditures and Second Interim projected year-end actual expenditures; however, it is ultimately the responsibility of each Charter LEA to review and determine MOE compliance is met prior to closing the financial records of each fiscal year.
10.2 Excess Cost Reporting Per the requirement of IDEA and Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations § 300.16, recipients of federal IDEA Part B funds are required to demonstrate that the agency has spent at least a minimum average amount on the education of children with disabilities as it has spent on all other students before it expends IDEA Part B funds on providing special education and related services (excess cost). Excess cost is defined as costs that are in excess of the average annual per student expenditure level for elementary school or secondary school students. This demonstrates that the Charter LEA is not using federal funds in place of local and state funds for the core educational program in regard to children with disabilities.
