Plan Your Work with CIFR’s Customizable Fiscal Timeline Tool

September 30, 2019

The IDEA Fiscal Timeline is customizable by SEA staff to help them meet the high-stakes fiscal requirements of IDEA. Prepopulated with recommended activities and month-by-month schedules, the tool may be further customized by adding additional fiscal topics and supplemental information such as staff responsibilities and relevant state regulations or procedures. The customized tool serves as a useful overview for staff who implement or supervise fiscal work and as a training tool and reference for state staff new to IDEA fiscal responsibilities.

The IDEA Fiscal Timeline was co-developed by CIFR, the IDEA Data Center (IDC), and the National Center for Systemic Improvement (NCSI).
