Assistance to States for the Education of Children With Disabilities; Preschool Grants for Children With Disabilities

In order to ensure the Department's ``Equity in IDEA'' or ``significant disproportionality'' regulations effectively address significant disproportionality, the Department proposes to postpone the compliance date by two years, from July 1, 2018, to July 1, 2020. The Department also proposes to postpone the date for including children ages three through five in the analysis of significant disproportionality with respect to the identification of children as children with disabilities and as children with a particular impairment from July 1, 2020, to July 1, 2022.
