The Virginia Department of Education (DOE), through Virginia's special education policies, ensures that all children with disabilities, aged two to 21 inclusive, residing in Virginia have a right to a free appropriate public education. These include, but are not limited to, children with disabilities who:
a. Are migrant;
b. Are homeless;
c. Have been suspended or expelled from school;
d. Are incarcerated in a state, regional, or local adult or juvenile correctional facility;
e. Are in special education and related services, even though they are advancing from grade to grade;
f. Are in state-operated programs; or
g. Are in public charter schools.
DOE ensures that each local school division develops an Individualized Education Program (IEP) for each child with a disability served by that local school division and that an IEP is developed for each child with a disability placed in a private school by a local school division or Comprehensive Services Act team.
"Individualized Education Program" (IEP) means a written statement for a child with a disability that is developed, reviewed, and revised in a team meeting. The IEP specifies the individual educational needs of the child and what special education and related services are necessary to meet the needs.
DOE develops procedures for implementing state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to the education of children with disabilities. It also assists local educational agencies and other participating state agencies in the implementation of state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to the education of children with disabilities by providing technical assistance and consultative services. Additionally, it reviews and evaluates compliance of local educational agencies with state and federal laws and regulations pertaining to the education of children with disabilities and requires corrective actions where needed.
