Administrative Competencies Needed to Successfully Implement the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (Inservice, Preservice, Pl94-142)

The study was conducted to assist in the understanding of the responsibilities which public school administrators must now assume as a result of the passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (Public Law 94-142, 1975). All public school administrators are now required to provide handicapped students a free and appropriate education and due process for parents and guardians. They must often do this with limited financial resources, declining enrollment, and other factors resulting from the economic and social trends of the 1980s. Thus, it is essential that all administrators know the law and are skilled in those competencies which assure implementation of the law so they can program effectively for handicapped students within the framework of their local education agency.
