Accessing Technical Assistance on IDEA Fiscal Issues

OSEP has funded three TA centers with the responsibility of responding to issues regarding IDEA fiscal reporting and data collection. The TA centers focus on distinct but also overlapping areas. Most importantly, the centers work together to make sure that each state receives the best TA the centers can provide. This flyer is meant to help states better understand the three TA Centers’ objectives and activities that are related to IDEA fiscal data. The objectives and activities of each center are summarized in a chart.
