Abstract | Since its enactment in 1975, the federal special education law, now called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), has made each state responsible for the compliance of all their local education agencies (LEAs) and other public agencies that provide special education for students with disabilities. The 2004 reauthorization of the law (P.L. 108-446) added a new section (Section 616) on monitoring and enforcement (subsequently more clearly described in the IDEA regulations [34 CFR Section 300.600]). Section 300.149 of the regulations requires that a state have in effect policies and procedures "to ensure that it complies with the monitoring and enforcement requirements in Section 300.600." On-site verification visits constitute one monitoring strategy used by states to comply with the IDEA requirements to monitor LEAs. Historically, the composition of on-site visiting teams has varied among states--some used only state educational agency (SEA) staff, some included local education agency (LEA) peers, parents or other community members and some contracted with private vendors for this component of their monitoring programs. To examine current practice in using parents on monitoring teams, Project Forum staff surveyed state directors of special education and analyzed the information provided by those who responded. Project Forum completed this task as part of its cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Education Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). (Contains 2 tables and 6 footnotes.)
