Funding and Fiscal Accountability

The Office of Special Services is required to provide oversight in the distribution and use of IDEA funds at the state and local level. The state system of general supervision includes mechanisms to provide oversight in the distribution and use of IDEA funds at the state and local level. States should have procedures ensuring that fiscal resources are directed to areas needing improvement, as noted in the APR.  Contact the Office of Special Services at (207) 624-6713 for support.
