Notice of Procedural Safeguards/Parent Rights - Please click the "Parent Rights - Procedural Safeguards" section, in this same page, to find several language versions of this document.

 

Based on federal legislation (Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act), California Education Code - Part 30 and the California Code of Regulations - Title 5, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, the distribution and use of Low Incidence Funds (LIF) changed as of August, 2020. 

With these changes, now each LEA is responsible to document and track their own LIF needs, purchases, services, and storage of materials and equipment.  Therefore, SELPA is no longer accepting and processing LIF requests.  For more information, please refer to the Low Incidence Funds Guidelines 2020.  

If you have any questions, please contact our office at (650) 802-5464 or by email at selpa@smcoe.org.
