Last week we began discussion of IDEA Compliance in each state. This week, that discussion continues. We finish up the 50 states and move into United States territories such as Guam and the Virgin Islands.

The Categories

Just as a reminder, the Department of Education puts the states in three distinct categories.

  • Meets IDEA requirements and purposes
  • Needs Assistance to achieve IDEA compliance
  • Needs Intervention to achieve IDEA compliance

Readers also need to understand the parts of IDEA.

  • Part B contains requirements for students ages three through twenty-one.
  • Part C contains requirements for students ages zero to two.
