2. Session 2: Understanding the Supplement Not Supplant Rules ticket

   Date: Wednesday, May 21, 2025 Time: 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. (PT) / 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. (ET) Supplement, not supplant (SNS) is a fundamental provision of most federal education grant programs.

What does that really mean, and how can you ensure compliance? Misinterpretation can lead to misallocated funds and diminished educational opportunities. This course will provide an overview of the definition, purpose, and background of the SNS provision, then outline each of the presumptions of supplanting specific to ESEA and IDEA. It will also explore program-specific examples of SNS and include methodologies to gain a better understanding of how to demonstrate compliance.
