Report to the Legislature: Annual Report on Students with Disabilities, 2009-2010
Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
This report has been provided to the Legislature on an annual basis since 2000 when the legislature amended the language of G.L. c.71B to align Massachusetts special education terminology with the federal "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" ("IDEA"). The Department is required to submit an annual report on compliance and performance to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) each year on February 1. This annual state legislative report provides: (1) statewide longitudinal enrollment data on students with disabilities; (2) data on the number of students with disabilities who are being served according to grade level, educational environment, and disability category; and (3) information on special education expenditures, claims filed for "circuit breaker" reimbursement, and Medicaid reimbursement for eligible services provided in the school environment.
