Pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) Section 616(a)(1)(C)(i) and 34 CFR §300.600(a), states are required to make “determinations” annually under Section 616(d) on the performance of LEAs’ programs for students with disabilities. In making such determinations, the state will assign each LEA one of the following determination levels:

• Meets requirements
• Needs assistance
• Needs intervention
• Needs substantial intervention

LEAs should expect to receive their FFY 2015 annual Part B IDEA determinations by Aug. 24, 2017.
