SUBJECT: 2003-2004 Special Education State Categorical Aid Payment for November

Enclosed is your district's/agency's 2003-2004 Special Education direct state categorical aid calculation worksheet, based on 2002-2003 PI-1505-SE Annual Report Special Education costs. This worksheet projects your November, December, January, February, March, and June aid payments. Use this worksheet to calculate "transit of aid" payments to other participating districts in cooperative arrangements. You will receive updated worksheets between December and March only if changes occur in cost computation, and in June for the final aid computations.

Alert!!

1. It is absolutely imperative that you very carefully review this worksheet upon which your Special Education aid reimbursement is calculated. Since program data is now severely limited, DPI Financial Services will no longer contact LEAs regarding possible missing claims.
2. Please contact Special Education Aids Section IMMEDIATELY at 608-266-1089 if your LEA has incurred either of the following on the enclosed aidsheet:
   1. Missing Claims: Special Education aidable program costs are missing from your aidsheet.
   2. Adjustments: Adjustments, especially negative ones, have been made on the enclosed aidsheet (see adjustment sheet for explanation).

The actual November direct aid payments will be electronically transferred on Monday, November 17, 2003.

Note: Beginning with 2001-2002 aid, you will no longer receive the normal transmittal notice to record your revenues. Instead, please check the DPI's current year DPI Aids Register--to access, click on the "Aids Register" link on the left-hand scan bar from the School Financial Services Team Internet website at dpi.wi.us/sfs/index.html.

Note: Beginning with 2003-2004 aid, a copy of the aidsheet and adjustment sheets are located on the internet. To access, click on "Worksheets (DPI Printed)" on the left-hand scan bar from the School Financial Services Team Internet website at dpi.wi.us/sfs/index.html and then click on "Special Education Aid Eligibility Worksheets".

If you have any questions about these worksheets, please direct them to Beverly Kraus at (608) 266-1089.
