Purpose of Funds
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) and Region 10 Education Service Center (Region 10 ESC) seek to support Local Education Agencies (LEA’s) and families as they provide for the unique needs of children. One way of doing this is through the use of noneducational community-based (NECB) funds. These funds are used for non-educational support services in the home and allow a student currently in a residential placement due to educational purposes to return home or prevent a student at risk for residential placement due to educational purposes from being placed residentially. The intent of state legislation is for LEA’s to provide services that are not allowable purchases through education funds, to help families of this population care for the student, and to enable families to better cope with having an individual with a disability at home.
Professional Development
Professional Development is offered annually for the regional LEA’s special education directors, coordinators and other designated staff as well as CRCG chairs and coordinators. Additional staff development and technical assistance may be requested by interested LEA’s.
