To: Directors of Special Education, Business Managers, and SEDRA Contacts
From: Special Education Funding

Please read the State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2025 Special Education Application Materials and Eligibility for Program Approval memo from the Division of School Finance. This memo provides details on the SFY 2025 special education state and federal Special Education Data Reporting Application (SEDRA) data lines, application materials, eligibility for program approval and initial maintenance of effort.

The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) prefers that local educational agencies (LEAs) submit their special education application forms for SFY 2025 electronically. Please email the forms to mde.spedfunding@state.mn.us.

Please note: Copies mailed through the U.S. Postal Service will still be accepted. If you choose to submit electronically your state and federal cover sheets along with the statement of assurances, please do not mail a hard copy as duplicates could delay processing times.

All forms must be received by June 1, 2024.

If you have any questions, please contact the Special Education Funding and Data Team.
