Rescind the rule requiring race to be considered in special education
What the document says“The next Administration should immediately commence rulemaking to rescind the Equity in IDEA regulation.”
The regulation requires states to consider race and ethnicity in the identification, placement and discipline of students with disabilities. The chapter says that as a result students are being denied access to special education because of their race or ethnicity, that this was not the intent of the rule but an inevitable byproduct of its assumptions, and that no replacement regulation is required.
What the document actually says“The next Administration should immediately commence rulemaking to rescind the Equity in IDEA regulation.”
Start the process to cancel this rule at once.
One rule makes states look at race in special education. The book says that leads schools to turn children away. It wants the rule canceled.
Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. The Labor Department's final rule of August 21, 2026 rescinds the regulations implementing Executive Order 11246, which Executive Order 14173 revoked. It removes a race-conscious federal requirement, but from contracting rather than from special education. Nothing indexed begins or completes rulemaking to rescind the Equity in IDEA regulation, and no candidate mentions the identification, placement or discipline of students with disabilities. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.
