LEA Review of vlog’s Preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE Compliance Review 

Your LEA is responsible for reviewing vlog’s preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE compliance review and comparing it to your own internal review. If you used vlog’s IDEA-B LEA MOE Calculation Tool, located on the IDEA-B LEA MOE page of the vlog website, your preliminary results should match vlog’s.

Once you have made your comparison, you have four options for response, as described in this attachment. Please note that Option 1 requires no further action on your part, while the remaining three options require you to submit documentation and/or communicate with vlog by

Do Not Remit Refunds 

Your LEA must not remit refunds to vlog based on the preliminary IDEA-B LEA MOE compliance review. vlog will notify you in the final compliance review report if your LEA owes a refund and provide additional information at that time.
