When Draft Regulations Will Be Published Schedule of Public Meetings Your State Laws and Regulations IDEA 2004 Reports & Publications Draft IDEA Regulations: Spring 2004 IDEA goes into effect on July 1, 2005. The IDEA 97 regulations will remain in effect, except where they are contrary to IDEA 2004, until they are replaced with new federal regulations. The U. S Department of Education plans to publish proposed / draft IDEA regulations soon - in Spring 2005. Schedule of Public Meetings The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), Department of Education, announced plans to hold seven public meetings for comments about the proposed IDEA 2004 regulations in these locations: Monday,
June 6, 2005: San Antonio, TX Note:
These meetings will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 5 p.m.
to 7 p.m. Announcement
in Federal Register We understand that the final IDEA 2004 regulations will be published in late 2005 or early 2006. State
laws and regulations that exceed the IDEA 2004 minimum remain in effect.
States must follow them until they are repealed. You should be able to download your state special education regulations from the website maintained by your State Department of Education. Efforts to repeal state laws and regulations are underway in some states. We hope advocacy groups in these states will fight to stop them, as recently happened in Massachusetts. Source:
