Department of Defense funds are
authorized for local educational agencies (LEAs) that educate
military dependent students with severe disabilities and meet
certain criteria. This new application will be requested of LEAs
who educate military dependent students to determine if they meet
the criteria to receive additional funds from the Department of
Defense due to the high special education cost of the military
dependent students with severe disabilities that they
serve.
