MDE Federal Funds Summary Narrative: 
Federal Funds make up 10% of Minnesota Department of Education’s (MDE) budget and are projected to be $784 and $788 million for State fiscal years 2014 and 2015 respectively.  Due to the ending of large one-time funds for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and Education Jobs, fiscal year 2013 is significantly higher than subsequent years. Title I and Special Education funding has remained the same or shown a slight increase that is insignificant when compared to the increased cost of providing services to eligible students. Special Education expenditures fluctuated between fiscal years 2012 and 2013 due to some delayed spending of the federal award. 
Major programs with Maintenance of Effort (MOE) include Title I, Special Education, English Language Acquisition, and Adult Basic Education (ABE). Title I and ABE require LEAs to spend at least 90% of prior year funding from state and local efforts to avoid a prorated loss of federal funds. For Special Education, states are subject to MOE and are required to spend the same amount of funding as the previous year in order to receive IDEA Parts B and C funds. Food & Nutritional Services, ABE and Carl Perkins also require a state match for the state to receive federal funds. 
MDE estimates that about $500M dollars in federal funds will be impacted by sequestration.  This amounts to about 23 federal programs.  Depending on which programs outside of education are included the impact could be anywhere between an 8.4% to 15% reduction. The reductions would be significant not only to districts but also MDE.  Sixty percent of MDE staff is funded through federal funds.  Layoff would be inevitable.  The amount of indirect funds the agency can use for internal operations (local grant awards, accounts payable and receivable and other operating costs) would also be significantly impacted.
