HOW THE SPECIAL EDUCATION (#IDEA.ED.GOV) WEBSITE AT USDE IS NOW WORKING ...!

FOR IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE!

IDEA Website Working - (YIPPIE)!!

The server hosting the site crashed on February 8 and that evening the site URL was redirected to a page hosting the most pertinent information. Thorough testing indicated the existing server was not stable and the Department began moving files to a viable hosting solution. An exhaustive review of the site found numerous links and resources outdated, with the last update to the site dating back to 2013. The Department will begin immediately contacting stakeholders to create a new and improved IDEA.ed.gov site.

Parents, educators and individuals with any issues with the website or questions about IDEA should call 1-800-USA-LEARN.
