Surveys and Assurances

Statement of Assurances

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), the representative body for Special Education for Arizona, Exceptional Student Services, is required to obtain assurances from Public Education Agencies (PEAs) to attest that they are meeting the requirements under state and federal statutes for special education in the state of Arizona. It is a requirement for all entities defined as PEAs, regardless of whether they receive federal funds. All PEAs must submit the IDEA Statement of Assurances (SOA) through the Exceptional Student Services Portal of ADEConnect. The SOA must be submitted by your organization's Superintendent, Charter Holder, or Special Education Director before IDEA funding applications are approved in the Grants Management Enterprise system.
