RE:   IDEA Part B and C applications: Public notice and comment periods

Each year, the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is required to
complete and submit United States Department of Education (USDOE)
applications to be eligible for funds under Parts B (3-21) and Part C
(birth-2) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA
2004). 

The Part C application is due to USDOE by April 20, 2007; the Part B
application is due by May 4, 2007.  ODE is required to complete and
publicly post both applications for 60 days for public review.  Thirty
days within the 60 day posting period must be designated for receiving
public comment related to the applications.  ODE will review all public
comments and implement changes, if needed. 

 

ODE completed and posted both the Part B and Part C applications for
public review on the ODE website
(http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=260 ) on February 20,
2007.  The 60 day public notice period begins today, February, 20 2007
and continues through April 20, 2007.  The 30 day period for receiving
public comment begins February 20 and ends March 21, 2007. 

 

Please note that the financial portions of the applications use the same
dollar amounts as the previous year.  USDOE has instructed states to do
this until such time as a final federal budget is signed into law.  If
this occurs before the application due dates, ODE will make fiscal
changes in the posted document as needed.   

Please direct electronic public comments on the Part B application to
Eric Richards at eric.richards at state.or.us
<mailto:eric.richards at state.or.us> . Comments on the Part C application
may be submitted to Jennifer Olson at jennifer.olson at state.or.us
<mailto:jennifer.olson at state.or.us> .

You may also fax your comments to Eric or Jennifer (503) 378-5156.
Comments may also be mailed to them at:
