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! 

The Safety Net Team at OSPI is working to get conditional award letters out following the State Oversight Committee Meeting on June 21st. The letters will be sent through EGMS and will detail next steps in the process.
