Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services
Overview
Each school year during the fall, divisions are notified of the significant disproportionality and informed that they are required to set-aside Part B funds for Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS) the following school year.
Any division may opt to use up to, but not exceed, 15 percent of the total amount of its 611 and 619 Part B IDEA funds for Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CEIS). In December 2016, the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) finalized new regulations on significant disproportionality (34 CFR §300.646). In order to ensure these new regulations effectively address significant disproportionality, the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) proposes to postpone the compliance date by two years, from July 1, 2018, to July 1, 2020. They also propose to postpone the date for including children ages three through five in the analysis of significant disproportionality with respect to the identification of children as children with disabilities and as children with a particular impairment from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2022.
The proposed postponement does not relieve a school division identified with significant disproportionality under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004. Regulations remain in effect under Section 618 and Section 613 of IDEA that requires states to identify school divisions that have significant disproportionality of racial/ethnic groups with regards to identification in special education, specific disability categories, placement, and discipline. Those divisions are then required to reserve 15 percent of their Part B grant awards to provide Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS).
The additional flexibility to expand the population of children who can be served with IDEA Part B funds reserved for CCEIS to include children with disabilities and children ages three through five, with and without disabilities is currently on hold until new regulations take effect.
Additional information about CCEIS and CEIS is available on the Center for IDEA Fiscal Reporting (CIFR) website.
