IDEA Regulations

Final regulations implementing the reauthorized Individuals with

Disabilities Education Act (Part have been delayed beyond the

December 2005 deadline and may not be released before the summer of

2006. The IDEA was renewed in December 2004, and many of its provisions

became effective on July 1, 2005. The delay in implementing regulations

has caused stakeholders some concern, given the significant number of

changes in the law, including those pertaining to school discipline and

students' individualized education plans. See the Bazelon Center's Alert
