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 June Conditional Award letters were sent to applicant Superintendents on 7/8/24. Review the Reconsideration Request and/or Submission of Missing Documentation One-pager if you have questions. If you would like to set up a meeting to go over your adjustments please reach out to Safety Net as soon as possible. Both Requests for Review and Reconsideration and Submission of Missing Documentation are due to be uploaded by 7/25/24.
