Upcoming Deadline: Changes to
Special Education SSA Membership
This is a reminder of an upcoming special education deadline
that applies only to LEAs planning a change to their special
education shared services arrangements (SSAs) for 2018–2019.
If you are not making a change to your LEA’s SSA, no
notification to TEA is required.
Special Education SSA Configuration Changes
Notify TEA if you are making any of the following changes to
your LEA’s special education SSA:
- Your LEA is participating a newly-formed SSA.
- Your LEA is joining an existing SSA.
- Your LEA is leaving an SSA and becoming
independent.
- There is a change in fiscal agents for an
existing SSA.
- There is any membership configuration change to
an existing SSA.
Once TEA receives your notification, the agency will send
you further information on fiscal-related deadlines and requirements.
Notification Deadline
If you are making any of the configuration changes described
above, you must notify TEA by February 1, 2018, in order for the agency to
finalize IDEA-B planning amounts for the 2018–2019 school year.
The February 1, 2018,
deadline is final and will not be extended. An LEA that fails to submit its
notification by that deadline will not be permitted to implement changes to its
SSA membership for 2018–2019.
Further Information
Refer to the Special
Education—Shared Services Arrangement (SSA) Procedures for further
information regarding this requirement.
