Yes. Both regular IDEA entitlement and IDEA Recovery funds may be used to retain special education staff slated for layoff or contract reduction. Moving special education staff from local funds to regular IDEA entitlement or IDEA Recovery funds would not violate the supplement not supplant requirement as long as a district meets its requirement for IDEA maintenance of effort for the fiscal year.
