- IDEA Basic (Arizona Department of Education)
Status: Approved
The continued goal of the IDEA Basic Entitlement application is to assist our district in providing FAPE in the least restrictive environment setting for students. It provides numerous support services which assist students who are eligible for special education services in acquiring general education curriculum. Most of the funding is used for instruction and instructional support services, with the majority of the funds used for salaries/benefits. IDEA Basic funds are also used to fund a portion of FUSD's MTSS Program, which operates in all elementary schools (IDEA Basic funds activities in two of those schools).
