Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) Self-Assessment

The purpose of this review is to determine if the policies, practices, and procedures are consistent with the requirements of the IDEA.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) 20 U.S.C. 1418(d) and Section 34 C.F.R. 300.646 , require states to collect and examine data on an annual basis to determine whether “significant disproportionality” based on race and ethnicity with respect to educational settings is occurring. The State must provide for the review and, if appropriate, revision of the policies practices and procedures used in the placement of children with disabilities, to ensure the policies, practices and procedures comply with the Act. This would occur for local education agencies (LEAs) that based on the numerical analysis, were identified as having significant disproportionality for placement. The purpose of this review is to determine if the policies, practices, and procedures are consistent with the requirements of the IDEA.
