SECTION 1: FEDERAL EDUCATION LAWS (Questions 1–40)
1. What does IDEA stand for?
A) Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
B) Individuals with Disabilities Educational Assessment
C) Independent Disability Education Act
D) Integrated Disability and Education Act
Correct: A
Rationale: IDEA is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the federal law
that ensures students with disabilities receive a Free Appropriate Public Education
(FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE). It is the cornerstone of special
education law in the United States.

2. What does ESSA stand for?
A) Elementary and Secondary School Act
B) Every Student Succeeds Act
C) Educational Standards and Support Act
D) Equal Student Services Act
Correct: B


1

,Rationale: ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) replaced NCLB (No Child Left
Behind)
in 2015. Title III of ESSA specifically addresses English Learners (ELs), requiring
states to assess ELs' English proficiency and provide language instruction
programs.

3. Which federal law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities
in all programs and activities that receive federal funding, including public
schools?
A) IDEA
B) Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
C) ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
D) FERPA
Correct: B
Rationale: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a civil rights law that
prohibits discrimination based on disability in programs receiving federal funding.
It covers students who may not qualify for IDEA but still have a disability that
substantially limits a major life activity (e.g., ADHD, asthma, diabetes).

4. What is the primary purpose of FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Act)?
A) To ensure students with disabilities receive free meals
B) To protect the privacy of student education records and give parents rights to
access their children's records
C) To require standardized testing for all students
D) To provide funding for English Learner programs
Correct: B
Rationale: FERPA protects the privacy of student education records. It gives
parents
(and eligible students 18+) the right to inspect and review records, request
amendments, and control the disclosure of personally identifiable information
(PII)
except under specific exceptions (e.g., school officials with legitimate educational

2

,interest).

5. Under IDEA, what does FAPE stand for?
A) Free and Appropriate Public Education
B) Fair and Accessible Public Education
C) Federally Approved Public Education
D) Free and Adequate Program for Education
Correct: A
Rationale: FAPE means Free Appropriate Public Education. It is the right of every
student with a disability to receive special education and related services at no
cost
to the family, designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further
education, employment, and independent living.

6. Under IDEA, what does LRE stand for?
A) Least Restrictive Environment
B) Least Required Education
C) Limited Restrictive Environment
D) Legal Rights and Education
Correct: A
Rationale: LRE (Least Restrictive Environment) mandates that students with
disabilities should be educated to the maximum extent appropriate with their
non-disabled peers. Removal from the general education environment should
occur
only when the nature or severity of the disability prevents satisfactory education
even with aids and services.

7. Which federal law requires that schools provide accommodations to students
with disabilities who do NOT qualify for special education under IDEA?
A) IDEA
B) ADA
C) Section 504
D) ESSA

3

, Correct: C
Rationale: Section 504 has a broader definition of disability than IDEA. It covers
students with any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major
life activity (learning, walking, seeing, etc.). These students receive a 504 Plan
with
accommodations, but they do not receive specialized instruction (which requires
an
IEP under IDEA).

8. Under Title III of ESSA, how often must schools assess English Learners' (ELs')
English language proficiency?
A) Once every 3 years
B) Annually
C) Only upon initial enrollment
D) Once every 5 years
Correct: B
Rationale: Title III of ESSA requires that states assess ELs' English language
proficiency annually using a valid and reliable assessment (e.g., WIDA ACCESS for
ELLs). This measures progress in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Results
guide program placement and reclassification decisions.

9. Which law mandates that public schools provide a free appropriate public
education (FAPE) to all children with disabilities aged 3–21?
A) Section 504
B) ADA
C) IDEA
D) ESSA
Correct: C
Rationale: IDEA is the law that specifically mandates FAPE for students with
disabilities from ages 3 to 21. It also requires an Individualized Education Program
(IEP) for each eligible student. Section 504 also requires accommodations but
does
not guarantee specialized instruction.
