The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) provided general guidance and technical assistance for State educational agencies (SEA), to assist them in implementing significant disproportionality regulatory requirements. OSEP also performed ongoing monitoring of SEAs’ compliance with Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requirements and program results. However, we determined that OSEP has not performed a risk assessment to determine if the change in the regulation affects the control activities that it has established for monitoring significant disproportionality, particularly regarding data reliability.
