RE: OSEP Letter to be shared with Superintendents and Special Education Directors

Attached is a letter announcing the U.S. Department of Education's plan for improving the implementation of equitable services requirements under applicable programs authorized by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).  States have been asked to share this correspondence with local school administrators, and USDOE will be hosting conference calls for state administrators to answer questions and respond to questions in the coming weeks.

The plan does not place new requirements on State and Local Educational Agencies (SEAs and LEAs).  Rather, it focuses on how the USDOE will support the collaborative work of State and local public school officials and private school leaders to ensure the efficient and effective implementation of these requirements and the delivery of services.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.  Thank you very much.
