Special Education: Improved Timeliness and Better Use of Enforcement Actions Could Strengthen Education's Monitoring System
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) ensures
the education of the nation's disabled children. As a condition
of receiving IDEA funds, states must provide educational and
related services that facilitate learning to students with
disabilities based on their individual needs. The Department of
Education (Education) is responsible for ensuring state
compliance with the law. In recent years, questions have been
raised about Education's oversight of IDEA. GAO agreed to
determine how Education monitors state compliance with IDEA for
children aged 3-21, the extent and nature of noncompliance found,
and how Education has ensured that noncompliance is resolved once
identified. GAO analyzed Education monitoring documents,
interviewed state and federal officials, and visited 5 state
special education offices.
