Update: Safety Net Survey. Report to the Legislature
O'Donnell, Amber
Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction
Safety Net funding is available to local education agencies (LEAs) that demonstrate need for additional special education funding. There are two types of Safety Net funding--High-Need Individual and Community Impact. High-Need funding is on behalf of an individual student. Community Impact funding is for a factor that impacts the district as a whole. The Committee has awarded more than $638 million since the program's beginning in 1996-97. In 2018-19, the Committee awarded funding to 112 local education agencies (LEAs). The Legislature requires the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to annually survey LEAs about their satisfaction with the Safety Net process in order to improve the process. More than 360 people from LEAs that applied for Safety Net received the survey in September 2019. The survey included 13 questions and was open for two weeks. OSPI received 72 responses. This update discusses changes to the 2018-19 survey, responses to the survey, as well as recommendations and next steps. [For the 2018 update, see ED595894.]
