Applying for Safety Net Funding

Safety net funding is available to school districts with a demonstrated capacity for Special Education funding in excess of state and federal funding otherwise provided.

The Safety Net Funding Bulletin (B070-23) discusses allocated funding, the application process, trainings, deadlines, committee members, and more! 

If your LEA needs to submit May High-Need Individual Updates please fill out this Smartsheet request form, if your LEA has not already done so. We will use this request to send your application back to you through EGMS. As a reminder May High-Need Individual Updates and Community Impact Applications are due May 10, 2024. See the GovDelivery notification.
