submitted 32 years ago by Pub. L. 103-227 to r/title-20-EDUCATION · 143 words · no verdicts yet
Congress finds that federal funding for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is below its intended level and burdens poorer districts. Congress expresses support for providing adequate resources by reallocating noneducation funds within budget limits.
(a) Findings. Congress finds that (1) the Act was established with a commitment to 40 percent federal funding but receives 8 percent; (2) the shortfall especially burdens low-income districts and schools serving above-average proportions of students with disabilities and having fewer local resources; and (3) fully funding the Act would cost the Federal Government about $10 billion each year. (b) Sense of Congress. Congress believes the Federal Government should provide States and communities adequate resources under the Act as soon as reasonably possible by reallocating noneducation funds within current budget constraints.
The Congress finds that—
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.] was established with the commitment of forty percent Federal funding but currently receives only eight percent Federal funding;
this funding shortfall is particularly burdensome to school districts and schools in low-income areas which serve higher than average proportions of students with disabilities and have fewer local resources to contribute; and
it would cost the Federal Government approximately $10,000,000,000 each year to fully fund the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
It is the sense of the Congress that the Federal Government should provide States and communities with adequate resources under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act [20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.] as soon as reasonably possible, through the reallocation of noneducation funds within the current budget monetary constraints.
