Letter to East June 14, 2010 re: MFS*
Clarifies that the word “State” in “State Financial Support” from the governing regulation does not mean only the state educational agency (SEA), but means any state agency (e.g., the state department of health and human services). This is consistent with the portion of the regulation stating that “Agencies in the State other than the SEA [have the responsibility] to provide, or pay for some or all of the costs of a free appropriate public education for any child with a disability in the State.” See §612(a)(18)(A) and §612(a)(11)(B) of IDEA.
