SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following list identifies correspondence 

from the Department issued from April

Included on the list are those letters 

that contain interpretations of the 

requirements of the IDEA and its 

implementing regulations, as well as 

letters and other documents that the 

Department believes will assist the 

public in understanding the 

requirements of the law and its 

regulations. The date of and topic 

addressed by a letter are identified, and 

summary information is also provided, 

as appropriate. To protect the privacy 

interests of the individual or individuals 

involved, personally identifiable 

information has been deleted, as 

appropriate. Most of the changes made 

to the IDEA by the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Improvement Act 

of 2004 (IDEA 2004), which 

reauthorized and amended the IDEA, 

took effect on July 1, 2005. Because the 

letters in this list were issued prior to 

July 1, 2005, the effective date of IDEA

to the provisions of the IDEA that were 

in effect prior to July 1, 2005.
