Changes/Waivers RequestedAction Type: Official Action Description of Action: N-size has proven to be a major deal-breaker for states seeking to use the 2 percent rule, a development that threatens to diminish the number of states that take advantage of the new policy. / The Education Department has rejected the 2 percent requests for the 2004-05 school year from Alaska, New Jersey, Washington and Wisconsin, all of which have larger N-sizes for their special education students than for other groups, according to interviews with state officials. At least one other state, Utah, has also been turned down for reasons not related to N-size. By rejecting their requests, ED has made it clear that the condition is nonnegotiable that N-sizes be the same for all subgroups before states can employ the new 2 percent rule (ED, May 2). That firm stance has significantly dampened some states' interest in the new flexibility.) Status of Action: |
