      "title": "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: Services in Private Schools under P.L. 105-17",
      "summary": "The 1997 amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),  P.L. 105-17 ,\nchanged previous statutory language regarding private school services for children with disabilities\nwho are unilaterally placed in a private school by their parents. Three major additions were made to\nthe statutory language on this issue: (1) requiring the states to spend a proportionate amount of IDEA\nfunds on private school children with disabilities who are enrolled in the private school by their\nparents, (2) allowing school districts to provide special education related services on the premises\nof private schools, including parochial schools, and (3) applying the identification, child find, and\nevaluation provisions to children placed by their parents in private schools. Since enactment, several\ncourts have interpreted these provisions and found public schools are not required to pay the costs\nof special education services for a particular child in a private school; rather, states are required to\nexpend proportionate amounts of federal funds on special education services for such children. In\naddition, the Department of Education promulgated regulations implementing the statutory language.\nThis report will be updated.
