State agencies must have a general supervision system in place to (1) improve educational results and functional outcomes for infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families and children with disabilities and (2) ensure that local education agencies and early intervening services programs and providers meet the requirements under the IDEA. State general supervision systems must be reasonably designed to meet these goals. A key responsibility of state general supervision systems is identifying, correcting, and reporting noncompliance. This guide focuses on the steps involved in these processes and is based on the Office of Special Education Programs QA 23-01: State General Supervision Responsibilities Under Parts B and C of the IDEA.
