Executive Order 13227: President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education was a presidential executive order issued by President George W. Bush (R) in October 2001 that established the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The commission aimed to help students with disabilities meet the goals proposed in the No Child Left Behind Act. The executive order sought to "support States and local communities in creating and maintaining a system of public education where no child is left behind," according to the text.[1]

Background

See also: No Child Left Behind Act

President George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCBLA) into law in 2001. At the time, public concern about the efficacy of public education in America had increased due in part to reports indicating a decline in the global academic performance of American students, according to the Education Commission for the States. The NCLBA, in response, aimed to support standards-based education reform drawn from the philosophy that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals for schools would improve individual outcomes for public school students. The legislation mandated that states develop standardized tests and administer assessments to all students at certain grade levels in order to receive federal funding. Each state was responsible for establishing its own standards.[2]

President George W. Bush (R) issued Executive Order 13227, titled "President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education," on October 2, 2001. E.O. 13227 created the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education. It stated that the commission aimed to help the administration "to support States and local communities in creating and maintaining a system of public education where no child is left behind." The commission sought to fulfill the purposes of the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) to protect "the rights of all children with disabilities to a free, appropriate public education," according to the order.[1]

Provisions

Establishment of the commission

Section 1 of E.O. 13227 states that the policy of the executive order is to "support States and local communities in creating and maintaining a system of public education where no child is left behind." It states that "those at greatest risk of being left behind are children with disabilities." To ensure that the federal government assists states and local communities, Section 2 of E.O. 13227 creates the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education.

Section 2 states that the commission "shall be composed of not more than 19 members to be appointed by the President from the public and private sectors, as well as up to 5 ex officio members from the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services." The president is responsible for designating a chairperson for the commission, according to Section 2.[1]

Duties of the commission

Section 3 of E.O. 13227 states the duties and responsibilities of the commission. It states, "The Commission shall collect information and study issues related to Federal, State, and local special education programs with the goal of recommending policies for improving the educational performance of students with disabilities." Section 3 also states that the commission should invite experts from the public to provide guidance, and the commission shall prepare a report for the president with findings on the state of education for those with disabilities no later than April 30, 2022.[1]

Commission report

Section 3 of E.O. 13227 states that the committee's report for the president should include the following:

  • "An examination of available research and information on the effectiveness and cost of special education and the appropriate role of the Federal Government in special education programming and funding."
  • "Recommendations regarding how Federal resources can best be used to improve educational results for students with disabilities."
  • "A recommended special education research agenda."
  • "An analysis of the impact of providing appropriate early intervention in reading instruction on the referral and identification of children for special education."
  • "An analysis of the effect of special education funding on decisions to serve, place, or refer children for special education services and recommendations for alternative funding formulae that might distribute funds to achieve better results and eliminate any current incentives that undermine the goals of ensuring that children with disabilities receive a high-quality education."
  • "An analysis of, and recommendations regarding, how the Federal Government can help States and local education agencies provide a high-quality education to students with disabilities."
  • "An analysis of the impact of Federal and State statutory, regulatory, and administrative requirements on the cost and effectiveness of special education services."
  • "An assessment of how differences in local educational agency size, location, demographics, and wealth, and in State law and practice affect which children are referred to special education, and the cost of special education."
  • "A review of the experiences of State and local governments in financing special education, and an analysis of whether changes to the Federal 'supplement not supplant' and 'maintenance of effort' requirements are appropriate."[1]

Amendment to E.O. 13227

President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13255 on February 6, 2002, to extend E.O. 13227 through July 1, 2002.[1]
