The federal government has never complied with its own law and provided the promised 40% share of educating students with disabilities.
increases in IDEA funding every fiscal year until it finally reaches 40% in Fiscal Year 2031.
The key word here is"reintroduced." Van Hollen and other senators have tried in several previous sessions of Congress to pass bills that would gradually increase federal IDEA funding levels over several years until 40% is reached once and for all. But none of these attempts have gotten anywhere, regardless of whether Republicans or Democrats were in the majority in the House or Senate.
When it comes to disregard for fulfilling the promise of IDEA, Congress has been remarkably bipartisan. If Congress had passed and obeyed the version of the IDEA Full Funding Act that wasThe current Fiscal Year 2022 federal budget provides in IDEA funding, which is more than $2 billion greater than the previous year, but that's still not even half the funds needed to provide the 40% reimbursement to school districts called for in the Act.
So the correct answer to today's quiz is unlikely to change any time soon. By not fully funding IDEA, Congress gives the many school districts that are reluctant to accommodate kids with disabilities ammunition to disparage IDEA with the worn-out old insult of"unfunded mandate." It seems that when Congress fails to comply with the IDEA law it passed forty-six years ago, there are no consequences—except, of course, for children with disabilities.
