PROPOSED REORGANIZATION OF PART B STATE PLAN 2017
The Office of Special Education is proposing changes to the state plan/regulations implementing Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) for reorganizational purposes only.
The proposed reorganization changes include: relocating multiple sections to more applicable areas of the state plan, changing the outline style from numerical to alphabetical, bolding and underlining each subsection heading, adding each subsection to the table of contents, creating new titles/subsection headers, capitalizing all bulleted lists, updating references, and changing the indent space and spacing between sections. There are no content changes within the plan affecting any requirements, rights or responsibilities enumerated in the plan—all changes are for reorganizational purposes only and in order to increase ease of access of the information contained within the plan.
The proposed reorganization and summary changes charts are available for inspection below. They may also be viewed in the office of the Assistant Commissioner, Office of Special Education, Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, 205 Jefferson Street, 4th floor Jefferson Building, Jefferson City, MO 65102 during regular office hours.
