For each LEA, SEAs are required, as part of the MOE reduction and CEIS data submission to OSEP, to report the amount of IDEA funds reserved for CEIS (whether voluntary or comprehensive), the number of children provided voluntary CEIS supported by those funds, and the number of children provided those services who subsequently received special education services under Part B. Starting with the 2023-24 school year, SEAs are required to report the number of children with and without disabilities who received comprehensive CEIS.
