- Log on to TEA Login (TEAL).
- Select “GFFC Reports and Data Collections.”
- Select your LEA’s name or county-district number (CDN).
- From the Report Title drop-down menu, select “IDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review.”
- From the School Year drop-down menu, select “2019–2020.”
LEA Review of TEA’s Preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review
Your LEA is responsible for reviewing TEA’s preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE compliance review and comparing it to your own internal review. If you used TEA’s IDEA-B LEA MOE Calculation Tool, located on the IDEA-B LEA MOE page of the TEA website, your preliminary results should match TEA’s.
LEA Response
Once you have made your comparison, you have four options for response, as described in this attachment. Please note that Option 1 requires no further action on your part, while the remaining three options require you to submit documentation and/or communicate with TEA by
April 2, 2021.
Do Not Remit Refunds
Your LEA must not remit refunds to TEA based on the preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE compliance review. TEA will notify you in the final compliance review report if your LEA owes a refund and provide additional information at that time.
