authorized for local educational agencies (LEAs) that educate
military dependent students with severe disabilities and meet
certain criteria. This 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.
