Welcome back to the Collaborative IUP podcast! I'm Ashley Barlow, your host, and today we're diving into Part B, Section 1413 of the IDEA statute. This section focuses on what local education agencies, like your school districts, need to do to ensure they receive federal funds for special education. We'll walk through the general provisions, exceptions, compliance rules, and specific uses of funds. I also share exciting updates: our recent conference's success, ongoing sales of all access passes, and the reopening of the ABC course for special education advocates. Get ready for a deep dive and join me next week as we tackle Section 1414, covering evaluations and eligibility.
