The Department of Education continues to work on its “results-driven accountability” program to help build student academic achievement across diverse learning abilities. This puts special education reform measures into the hands of each individual state government with support and resources from the federal level. States have to come up with specific areas of intervention in special education. This should be based on input from parents and school districts as well as student performance data.
The Education Department has long been responsible for evaluating how well states were meeting the mandates spelled out in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
