Annual Budget Plan

The Annual Budget Plan must identify projected revenues and expenditures as allowed by IDEA for the provision of specially designed instruction and related services to students with disabilities. The responsible local agency, or administrative unit is the legal entity that receives the funds and is responsible for seeing that every eligible child receives appropriate services as determined by individualized education plan teams.

Projected revenue and expenditures must be identified at the SELPA level and for each participating LEA using CDE-adopted templates that use the following five tables:

  • Table 1: Special Education Revenue by Source
    • Provides all special education revenue by funding source
    • Provides the distribution of revenues to all LEAs participating in the SELPA, by funding source
    • Provides a description of any revenue not identified on the adopted templates
  • Table 2: Total Budget by Object Codes
    • Identifies the special education expenditures by object code
    • Provides a distribution of projected expenditures by LEAs participating in the SELPA, by object code
    • Provides a description of the expenditures identified under object code 7000 - Other Outgo and Financing
  • Table 3: Federal, State, and Local Revenue Summary
    • Identifies funding by revenue jurisdiction and percent of total budget
    • A complete description of revenues to all LEAs participating in the SELPA by federal and state funding source
    • Provides a description of the basic premise of the SELPA Allocation Plan
    • Provides a description of how the SELPA distributes IDEA revenues to the LEAs, including the models used to provide services to member LEAs
  • Table 4: Special Education Local Plan Area Operating Expenditures
    • Identifies the total projected SELPA operating expenditures by SELPA accounting codes, the amount, and the percent of total expenditures
    • Provides a description of the expenditures identified under object code 7000 - Other Outgo and Financing
  • Table 5: Projected Expenditures for Supplemental Aids and Services in the Regular Classroom and for Students with Low Incidence Disabilities

The Annual Budget Plan is adopted at a public hearing.
