Significant Disproportionality

The December 2016 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) require each state to develop a standard methodology to identify local educational agencies (LEAs) with significant disproportionality and ensure that children with disabilities are properly identified for services, receive necessary services in the least restrictive environment, and are not disproportionately removed from their educational placements by disciplinary removals.


Resources for Significant Disproportionality

The Pennsylvania Department of Education continues to support LEAs with resources for significant disproportionality. Please review the resources and let us know how PDE can help!
