- Summary:
-
This paper provides the text of a Congressional presentation outlining the position of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) concerning reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The CEC believes that the fundamental rights and protections for children and their families, as well as the basic fiscal and administrative mechanisms contained in Parts A, B, and H of IDEA, are sound, have stood the test of time, and should remain untouched, while further refinements are needed in other areas. Issues and recommendations in the following areas are discussed: (1) outcomes and education reform (linkage with Goals 2000 and emphasis on improved student performance); (2) flow and use of funds (placement-neutral state funding, service-neutral allocation formulae, and funds for school-wide improvement); (3) assessment for eligibility (linkage between assessment and intervention, use of curriculum-based and performance assessments, and clarification of 3-year re-evaluation process); (4) definitions (additional diagnoses, primary grade categories, and serious emotional disturbance); (5) procedural safeguards (entitlement age, mediation, evaluation concerns, parental notification, attorney reimbursement, and refiling of hearing requests); (6) individualized education programs (relevancy, short-term instructional objectives, student participation in national and statewide assessments, family focus, and teacher participation); (7) culturally and linguistically diverse populations; (8) discretionary programs (Parts C through G); (9) transition; and (10) other issues (interagency agreements, discipline, private settings, adjudicated children, and data requirements).
