WASDA Sends MoE Letter to Congressional Delegation
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | August 25, 2015
AASA, The School Superintendents Association, has issued a special call to action on legislation amending IDEA’s maintenance of effort (MoE) requirements.
Last month, AASA successfully lobbied to have legislation introduced that would amend IDEA to grant districts additional exceptions to reduce the maintenance of effort requirements as long as the provision of special education services to students was not compromised. Rep. Walberg (R) of Michigan introduced the legislation, the Building on Local District (BOLD) Flexibility in IDEA Act (HR 2965), and they need the help of superintendents and other administrators to attract additional co-sponsors in the House and companion legislation in the Senate.
In response to AASA’s call, WASDA sent a letter to the Wisconsin Congressional Delegation urging their support for HR 2965. Please take a moment to reach out to the Congressional Delegation and ask them to support this important bill. Feel free to include AASA’s one-pager, which is available here.
For your convenience, we have provided email addresses for the appropriate staffers in Wisconsin House and Senate offices. Please note that contact information for Rep. Ribble’s office is not included because he has already signed on as a co-sponsor of HR 2965.
