The Special Education Fiscal Advisory Committee (SEFAC) has a vacancy for a small rural or BOCES fiscal member.
SEFAC was established in 2006 by House Bill 06-1375 and is the Special Education Fiscal Advisory Committee. The committee is charged with the allocation of an annual appropriation, currently $4 million. The committee has the discretion to award grants to administrative units for students with disabilities who qualify as “high cost” students. In addition to analyzing the high-cost applications and awarding grants to administrative units, the SEFAC produces an annual report to the legislature which includes special education data from the collection year, current fiscal year, and changes the committee recommends regarding the manner of distributing funds to Administrative Units for special education programs through the Exceptional Children’s Educational Act (ECEA).
The 2022-23 School Counselor Corps Grant Request for Application is available for education providers. Approximately $600,000 will be available for the new RFA, which will focus on planning in the first year and implementation in the second, third and fourth years of the grant.
The School Counselor Corps Grant program seeks to increase the availability of effective school-based counseling to increase the graduation rate within the state and increase the percentage of students who appropriately prepare for, apply to and continue into postsecondary education.
This RFA is released prior to the approval of a four-year grant cycle and is contingent on any funding appropriated to the School Counselor Corps Grant program in May 2022. For this program to continue, funds must be appropriated for the program during the 2022 Colorado Legislative Session.
