      "summary": "This document also available in  PDF Image .\n  The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), 20 U.S.C. Section Section 1400\n  et\nseq. , mandates the provision of a free appropriate public education for children with\ndisabilities and\nprovides for Federal funding to assist States and localities in meeting this goal. IDEA is currently\nup for reauthorization although it may be subject to a one year extension. When IDEA is\nreauthorized, Congress may consider amendments to the act. In light of the reauthorization issues,\nquestions have arisen concerning the original intent of Congress in enacting the legislation. This\nreport will examine the legislative history of  P.L. 94-142  to determine the rationale for its enactment. \n  An examination of the legislative history of the original act indicates that there were four main\nreasons advanced for its enactment. These reasons were (1) an increased awareness of the needs of\nchildren with disabilities, (2) judicial decisions that found constitutional requirements for the\neducation of children with disabilities, (3) the inability of states and localities to fund education for\nchildren with disabilities, and (4) the theory that educating children with disabilities will result in\nthese children becoming more productive members of society and thus lessening the burden on\ntaxpayers to support nonproductive persons.",
