Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                     STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
                           
                           RS 11459C1

Following a review of Idaho codes related to students with 
disabilities from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special 
Education Programs (OSEP), it was determined that use of the word 
"and" was inconsistent with federal rule 34CFR 300.122(a)(2).  As a 
condition for receiving federal funding for students with disabilities,
OSEP requires that Idaho change the word "and" to "or", as noted in 
the proposed change, to be consistent with federal rules. In order to 
ensure a free appropriate public education to a student with a 
disability incarcerated in an adult correction facility, the student, 
in his or her last education placement prior to incarceration, had an 
IEP or had been identified as a student with a disability.  Use of 
the word "and" in Idaho code was more restrictive in terms of 
eligibility for special education services in adult correctional 
facilities.
