Students with disabilities and the schools that support them experienced significant disruptions in teaching and learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, many states are now struggling to meet Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which protects the free appropriate public education (FAPE) of students with disabilities, ages 3-21. The Center for Public Education (CPE) of the National School Boards Association (NSBA) reviewed data and documentation to help states and school districts understand IDEA compliance and leverage innovative solutions to meet the Act’s standards.

This report provides insight into the post-pandemic challenges that states and school districts face as they set and measure compliance policies, including:
- Addressing compliance gaps to increase the percentage of students with disabilities who perform at or above NAEP fourth- and eighth-grade levels in reading and math
- Bridging the technology gap to provide the most appropriate learning opportunities for each student
- Developing a holistic compliance program where data provides actionable information to improve school practice
