Student Special Needs Funding in Arkansas Consolidated School Improvement Plan (ACSIP) for School Year 2004-2005 (see Director’s Memoranda FIN-05-005, FIN-05-004, FIN-05-003):
Student Special Needs Funds, e.g., dollar amounts for each Student Special Needs category, must be shown in ACSIP plans (school and/or district) when expenditures of these funds are proposed in ACSIP for the 2004-2005 Fiscal Year. ACSIP “source of funds” designations will be found in Version 3.0.3 of the software that corresponds with each new Special Needs Fund category (National School Lunch Act-NSLA Funding; Special Needs Funding-Alternative Learning Environment–ALE-Funding; Special Needs Funding-English Language Learners–ELL-Funding; Special Needs Funding-Professional Development Funding). This information should be included in school improvement plans submitted on or before September 15, 2004 to the ADE’s FTP server (ftp://165.29.214.17/).
