Funds are awarded to the WVDE by the United States Department of Education (USDE), Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), to “flow-through” to the LEA contingent upon an LEA’s application for Part B funds. State funds that are appropriated each year to assist in providing education to students with disabilities are also utilized as a “flow-through” to LEAs as well as internal administrative support.
