GRANT FUNDS FROM ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR 2016 INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES EDUCATION ACT - BASIC ENTITLEMENT Approve acceptance of $227,910.53 in continued grant funding from the Arizona Department of Education, for the FY2016 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Basic Entitlement. This funding provides contracted special education consulting services for staff training and IDEA implementation along with a variety of contracted professional services for juvenile inmates and the purchase of capital equipment to include Smartboards and laptops. The term of this funding is through June 30, 2016. Grant revenues are not local revenues for the purpose of the constitutional expenditure limitation, and therefore, expenditures of these revenues are not prohibited by the budget law. The Sheriff’s Office indirect cost rate for FY2016 is 17% (38,744.79). Unrecoverable indirect costs associated with this funding are estimated to be $14,252.75. The maximum recoverable indirect cost is estimated to be $12,675.60; there is a cap of 8% on operating costs. ADE considers any equipment being purchased as capital and doesn’t allow indirect. The priority use for these funds is to ensure Maricopa County Jail Education Programs are in compliance with state and federal special education requirements. These funds will be used to contract with special education consultants to work with staff in implementing the IDEA Laws and Regulations, to assist staff in providing transitional services and to assist in special education program improvement efforts. Funds will be used for behavioral modification groups, art therapy, cognitive restructuring, anger management classes and purchase outdated non capital and capital equipment items. These funds will also address the disability needs of the students with contracting services for visual, audio, speech and vocational therapist services. The Sheriff's Office has participated in the County Jails Education Program for approximately twelve years. (C-50-16-074-G-00) 22.
