Strategic Resource Management in Response to COVID-19

Strategic Resource Management in Response to COVID-19

NCSI presents a webinar series sharing best practices for state special education agencies to make the best use of available resources during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Maintaining the provision of a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) through the COVID-19 pandemic and related school closures has challenged many school systems. States are faced with balancing legal programmatic requirements and projected budget cuts. NCSI and invited experts will share information to help states make informed decisions amid current circumstances, ensuring leaders and staff are poised to support high-quality educational programming for students and families. Attendees will receive guidance on budget changes, how to direct the effective use of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the recently passed Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSA), funding, strategies for comprehensive planning across programs, tips for leveraging education resources, and understanding of funding flexibilities. The goal is to provide a learning opportunity about both the possibilities for the funding and strategic resource planning to support you in thinking about how you can partner with your SEA leadership to help districts support students with disabilities in your state.
