Allowable and reimbursable expenditures for special education equipment and supplies refer to expenditures for instructional equipment and supplies as required by Individual Education Plans (IEP's), for use in providing
direct educational experiences which benefit students with disabilities. The eligibility of instructional equipment and supplies is determined by its use and its
direct relationship to instruction and student performance. Expenditures for equipment and supplies used for clerical and administrative purposes are not allowable reimbursable expenditures. If the equipment is only occasionally used by students with disabilities, the NDE Special Education Office will reimburse for that prorated amount of expenditures
