Brandon Valley notes federal shortfall for special education, projects small surplus
Summary
Presenter Paul Lundberg said Brandon Valley receives about 9% federal funding for special education—well below the 40% target—and reported a projected special‑education surplus of roughly $500,000 going into next year.
Paul Lundberg described the district's special education finances and said federal revenue covers a small share of the cost: "It's supposed to be 40% of the total special ed education budget that's funded by the federal government, and it's 9% of Brandon Valley." He told the board that despite the shortfall the special education fund is projected to have a surplus of roughly $500,000 going into next year.
Lundberg provided fund totals: special-education expenditures were reported at $11,887,000 and special-education revenue at $12,428,000, producing a projected surplus and a fund-balance improvement to about $1.3M (12% of the fund) by year end.
