Wrightslaw Alert!

On August 3, 2006, the U. S. Department of Education published the federal IDEA 2004 regulations.

Download this Alert: https://www.wrightslaw.com/nltr/06/al.0803.idea.regs.htm

The regulations consist of two preambles that discuss the public comments and action taken, if any (1244 pages), the IDEA 2004 regulations (374 pages), and five Appendices (90 pages) for a total of 1,705 pages.

We are reading and reformatting the IDEA 2004 regulations now. As we finish, we will add each subpart (there are 8 subparts) to the IDEA 2004 Law & Regulations page at https://www.wrightslaw.com/idea/law.htm

When we finish the job of reformatting this text, the IDEA 2004 regulations will be less intimidating, less expensive to print, and easier for you to to read and study.

We suggest that you check the IDEA 2004 Law & Regulations page over the next few days to download the IDEA 2004 regulations.

Here is a link to the Table of Regulations (5 pages) - this will help you follow our progress: https://www.wrightslaw.com/idea/law/table.idea.regs.pdf

The regulations will be officially published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2006.

You can download the 1,700+ pages of preambles, regulations, and appendices as a 3.1 mg file from the Department of Education site at http://www.ed.gov/policy/speced/guid/idea/idea2004.html
