Superintendent reports disputed $28 million federal repayment
What happened
The superintendent told SEAC that LCPS had returned $28 million over a disputed special-education funding calculation and had appealed. He said year-end funds covered the payment without cutting services.
Why it matters to families
The payment is a major federal compliance issue. The source reports the superintendent’s explanation; it does not establish fraud or service cuts.
The evidence
The December 3 opening update attributes the dispute to a state chart-of-accounts change and confirms repayment and an appeal. A later appeal outcome is not established by this source.
