The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part B requires that states, school districts, and charter schools provide students with disabilities the services and support they need to succeed. Each year, the Delaware Department of Education (DDOE) evaluates districts and charters to determine how well they are meeting these requirements.

Through this annual determination process, districts and charters are assessed on key compliance and performance indicators, including:

  • Providing a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) to students with disabilities
  • Ensuring timely evaluations and individualized education programs (IEPs)
  • Meeting graduation and dropout rate targets for students with disabilities
  • Complying with federal reporting and procedural requirements

These determinations help guide improvements, technical assistance, and resources to ensure every student receives the high-quality education they deserve.

For more details on the determination process and how it impacts your district or charter, explore the full documents below.
