Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: State Regulations that Exceed Federal Requirements

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as amended, requires the Pennsylvania Department of Education to identify to school entities and local educational agencies regulations, rules, and policies that are state-imposed requirements and not required by the federal special education statute and regulation (20 USC §1408 (1) (2)). This notice fulfills the requirement to distribute an updated list of state-imposed requirements that exceed IDEA.
