Speaker Notes:

Section 616(a)(3) and (4)

The priorities for federal and State monitoring established in IDEA include:

• Provision of FAPE in the least restrictive environment;

• General supervisory authority; and

• Disproportionate representation of racial and ethnic groups in special education, to the extent the representation is the result of inappropriate identification.
