What is Maintenance of Effort?
It is a presumption that Local and State dollar spending levels remain constant between years, so that Federal dollars are not used to replace State & Local dollars for most programs.

MoE Tests• OSPI performs two MoE tests upon
final submission of all F-196 financial information.
• Results are communicated with program-related OSPI staff and districts who do not maintain effort.
• Preliminary models are available at http://www.k12.wa.us/safs/tt/tools.asp

Federal Cross-CuttingStatutory Authority: 34 C.F.R. §299.5Paragraph (a): An LEA whose aggregate
or per-student expenditures for State/Local funds for a given year are at least 90% of the prior year have maintained effort.

Consequences of Failing• If a district does not meet the 90%
threshold and no waiver is granted, the district’s current year Federal allocations for applicable programs will be reduced by the failure percentage.
• For example, if a district winds up with an 87% from both tests and does not get a waiver, they will see their current year allocations reduced by 3% (90% minus 87%).

Exceptions/Waivers• Specific authority was granted to utilize
State Fiscal Stabilization Fund dollars as State/Local instead of Federal for MoE purposes for 2008–09, 2009–10, and 2010–11.

Special Education MoE• Statutory Authority: 34 C.F.R. §300.203Paragraph (b): A district has maintained
effort if it budgets* the same in aggregate or per-pupil for the education of children with disabilities in a given fiscal year as it did in the prior fiscal year, either with state/local funds or just local funds only.
Cannot use money provided from Federal Government (i.e. IDEA allocations).
*OSPI uses final F-196 numbers for determining if districts maintained effort. Maintenance of Effort - WASBO 2011

Special Education MoEException: 50% rule (34 C.F.R. §300.205)If, in any fiscal year, the amount of a
district’s allocation under IDEA exceeds the amount of the allocation for the prior year, the district may reduce its MoE requirement by up to 50% of the difference.
A district must have “Met Requirements” under a program review to utilize this flexibility. (34 C.F.R. §300.608)
