Each year the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) submits a grant application to the U.S. Department of Education for funding through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) on the use of state-level IDEA funds. As part of this year’s grant application development process, the LDOE is seeking feedback from members of various Special Education stakeholder communities on how to prioritize funding for allowable special education activities.

This feedback will help the LDOE better understand what activities the public views as important as we develop the comprehensive IDEA grant application for the 2024-2025 school year.

Any interested stakeholders, including school system representatives, parents, and other members of the public should complete the SY24-25 Stakeholder Input Survey by Wednesday, March 6, 2024.

This survey should take you no more than five minutes to complete and does not request any personally identifiable information.

Please contact specialeducation@la.gov for more information or if you have any questions.
