SUMMARY:
The Secretary amends
the regulations governing title I, Part A of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA) (the “Title I
regulations”), to no longer authorize a State to define modified
academic achievement standards and develop alternate assessments based
on those modified academic achievement standards for eligible students
with disabilities. In order to make conforming changes to ensure
coordinated administration of programs under title I of the ESEA and the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the Secretary is
also amending the regulations for Part B of the IDEA. Note: Nothing in
these regulations changes the ability of States to develop and
administer alternate assessments based on alternate academic
achievement standards for students with the most significant cognitive
disabilities or alternate assessments based on grade-level academic
achievement standards for other eligible students with disabilities in
accordance with the ESEA and the IDEA, or changes the authority of IEP
teams to select among these alternate assessments for eligible students.
