Maintenance of Fiscal Effort (MOE) is a requirement under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (34 CFR §300.203) that any Part B funds received and expended (for the provision of programs and services) by an ISD, LEA, or PSA are used to supplement not supplant current state and local spending.
