Challenges in Collecting and Submitting the Annual Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Reduction and Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS) Survey
Overview• Local Education Agency/Educational Service Agency (LEA/ESA)
Allocations
• Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Reduction*
• Provision of Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS)
• Number of Children Receiving CEIS
* Beginning with the May 2018 submission States must report four new data elements around MOE including whether the state reviewed each LEA/ESA for MOE Compliance, the status of this review, whether the state returned funds for each LEA/ESA that failed to meet MOE Compliance and the amount of non-federal funds the state returned.
3
Reporting Allocation DataLEA/ESA Allocations• Total LEA/ESA Allocation for Section 611 FFY 2015 (A2A)• Total LEA/ESA Allocations for Section 611 FFY2016 Reference Year (A2B)• Total LEA/ESA Allocations for Section 619 FFY 2016 Reference Year
(A3B)*
Reference Year is the FFY about which this submission of the MOE Reduction and CEIS Survey reports the appropriate. FFY2016 refers to the 2016-2017 Academic or School Year.
* Beginning with the May 2018 submission, states will no longer report the Section 619 Allocations for the Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) preceding the Reference Year.

Reporting CEIS DataProvision of CEIS• Was the LEA/ESA required to use 15% of funds for CEIS due to significant
disproportionality in the reference year (C2A)• Was the LEA/ESA identified as having significant disproportionality due to
identification as a child with a disability (C2A.1)• Was the LEA/ESA identified as having significant disproportionality due to
identification by disability category (C2A.2)• Was the LEA/ESA identified as having significant disproportionality due to
placement in a particular educational setting (C3A.3)• Was the LEA/SEA identified as having significant disproportionality due to
disciplinary action (C2A.4)

Reporting CEIS Data (cont.)
Provision of CEIS (cont.)• (C2B)• Did the LEA/SEA voluntarily use up to 15% of IDEA 611 and 619 funds for
CEIS in the Reference Year (C3A)• Amount reserved by the LEA/ESA for voluntary CEIS in the Reference Year
(C3B)• Amount reserved for required CEIS in the LEA/ESA during the Reference

What Necessitates Change
• Technology• Statutory• Regulatory• Needs improvement• Personnel changes

Data Quality: An Example of Needs ImprovementWhat roll can we play in improving data quality?
• Communicating with LEAs prior to data collection
• Performing preliminary data analysis and follow up
29
Changes in Survey Data Elements
Beginning in the FFY 2016/SY 2016-17, MOE Reduction and CEIS data submission (due May of 2018) will contain 4 new elements:
• Did the State determine whether the LEA/ Education Service Area (ESA) met the MOE compliance standard in (Reference Year)
• Did the LEA/ESA meet the MOE compliance standard in (Reference Year)
• By the date of this data submission, did the State return non-Federal funds to the Department based on the failure of the LEA/ESA to meet the MOE compliance standard in (Reference Year)
