| Abstract | When the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was reauthorized in 2004, it included provisions to reduce administrative and paperwork requirements to address concerns about burden. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) was asked to review federal efforts to reduce burden related to meeting IDEA requirements for educating children with disabilities. Congress provided about $11.5 billion in grants in fiscal year 2015 under IDEA Part B to help states and local districts defray the costs of special education services for nearly 6.6 million students ages 3 to 21. This report examines (1) what the Department of Education (Education) and states have done to implement selected IDEA provisions intended to reduce burden; (2) stakeholder views about IDEA's administrative and paperwork requirements; and (3) steps that Education and others have taken to minimize IDEA-related burden. GAO reviewed relevant federal laws and regulations; held nongeneralizable focus groups with state and local administrators and educators from 37 states; visited schools in Clinton, Arkansas and Rochester, New York; and interviewed officials from Education and stakeholder organizations. GAO selected focus group participants, site visit locations, and organizations to highlight a range of demographic and geographic characteristics and obtain perspectives from a variety of stakeholders. The following are appended: (1) Objectives, Scope, and Methodology; (2) Comments from the U.S. Department of Education; and (3) GAO Contact and Staff Acknowledgments. (ERIC). |
