Highlights
The mail survey collected data about states' monitoring and improvement practices in 2004–05, which was before the 2004 amendments to IDEA took effect.4 However, the mail survey data can be used to provide some information about the number of states that were already implementing the new requirements prior to reauthorization. These data are summarized in the highlights below. In addition, the highlights identify monitoring practices that have increased since the amendments to IDEA in 1997 and provide a general inventory of the monitoring and improvement practices in place in 2004–05.
Complete data obtained from the mail surveys are included in the appendices. Appendices B and C present the Part B and Part C Monitoring Evaluation Questionnaire forms, respectively. The tables in appendices D and E present data collected on each of the survey questions. They are ordered and numbered to correspond to the Part B and Part C survey items.
4 The 2004 amendments to IDEA took effect on July 1, 2005, except for Section 602 pertaining to the definition of highly qualified special education teachers, which took effect on December 3, 2004. Although this was after the reference period for the mail survey, the survey included questions related to many of the new monitoring requirements.
