The High Need Fund was established to provide funding support to districts
with special education students, without regard to disability or placement,
whose educational costs exceed three times (3x) the district's Current
Expenditure per Average Daily Attendance (ADA) as calculated on the
district's 2007 Annual Secretary of the Board Report (ASBR).
The application and policy manual for the High Need Fund are available on
the Division's website at
http://www.dese.mo.gov/divspeced/Finance/HighNeedIndex.html. All
districts seeking reimbursement under this fund must complete and submit the
application form. Please review the manual as there have been many changes
since last year. Districts must use the Current Expenditure per ADA amounts
published on the HNF webpage listed above.
The HNF application is due on or before January 15, 2008, and must be
submitted electronically to
webreplyspefm@dese.mo.gov. Please save a copy of the application to your
