The Center for IDEA Fiscal Reporting (CIFR) provides technical assistance to state educational agencies (SEAs) to help them meet their federal obligation to collect and report special education fiscal data. Although CIFR does not provide technical assistance related to each step of comprehensive or voluntary CEIS, we believe that accurate data begins with the first step. The high-quality resources provided for each step will lead to high-quality collection and reporting.
