Dept. of Education Releases IDEA Regulations

The long-awaited federal regulations for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) have just been released by the U.S. Department of Education. You can find them at http://www.ideapractices.org.

Thanks to more than 6,000 public comments submitted to the department, the new rules contain significant changes in the areas of discipline and in the participation of regular education teachers on Individual Education Plan (IEP) teams.

There's more information about these and other important new provisions at http://www.nea.org/publiced/idea.
