Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)
Missouri DESE’s FY26 High Need Fund application is open for reimbursement of qualifying 2025-26 special education costs for eligible LEAs serving high-cost students with disabilities. Official DESE pages currently conflict on the due date, listing September 30, October 15, and October 16, 2026; Atlas is treating the deadline as unresolved until DESE reconciles it.
Required next actionMissouri LEAs with qualifying students should verify the June MOSIS High Need indicator, confirm IEP-linked eligible expenditures and any required private-placement approvals, ensure the same student is not claimed under the Public Placement Fund, and confirm the controlling FY26 HNF deadline directly with DESE Special Education Finance before submission because official DESE pages currently conflict.

Wyoming Department of Education
Wyoming's 2026-27 Education Savings Account program provides eligible students $7,000 annually for approved education expenses, including tuition, tutoring, curriculum, educational technology, educational therapies, and other qualified costs.
Required next actionKEEP PUBLISHED under the September 17 shared Atlas healthcare/school-health gate. WDE expressly authorizes ESA spending for educational therapies including behavioral or speech-language therapy, which is a specifically documented school-health/behavioral-health eligible-use pathway. Do not move this record to Draft merely because the broader ESA program is educational or because family outreach is blocked. New family applicant outreach remains blocked because WDE does not publish an exact 2026-27 family application cutoff date, clock time, or time zone from which the 48-hour gate can be proven. A separate provider/vendor review may continue only after product-specific eligibility, provider certification, and vendor-category fit are verified.
