Validation Alert: Schedule BS6016 of the 2016–2017 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application

The purpose of this bulletin is to notify LEAs applying for the 2016–2017 Special Education Consolidated Grant that TEA will conduct a validation of certain amounts reported on Schedule BS6016–Financial Compliance Requirements.

The Division of Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting will contact a stratified random sample of LEAs to provide documentation, such as general ledgers and budget reports, to support the following amounts reported in the LEA MOE for Eligibility section of the BS6016:

1. Amount of special education expenditures for the most recent prior year in which complete expenditure data are available and the LEA was in MOE compliance
2. Budget for special education for 2016–2017

The Division of Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting will conduct outreach after applicants submit the 2016-2017 Special Education Consolidated Grant Application.  Superintendents and special education directors of selected LEAs will receive an e-mail from compliance@tea.texas.gov with instructions to attach documentation within two business days (TEA will use e-mails listed in the Texas Education Directory, ASKTED).

Please share this bulletin with any appropriate LEA staff to ensure that they are prepared to comply if contacted.
