This book asks a question that many educators may think, but won’t say out loud: Does compliance with IDEA legislation matter? The author acknowledges that, while compliance with IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is important, it can also be an administrative burden that detracts from practitioners’ capacity to adequately serve students with disabilities.Using data collected from three suburban school districts, Voulgarides helps us to understand how compliance with IDEA intersects with decades of evidence of racial inequities in student outcomes. This timely and thought-provoking book unpacks the civil rights history of IDEA, examines the impact of its procedural focus on educational practice, and questions why racial inequities in special education persist despite good intentions by policymakers, educators, and school personnel.

In Understanding the Boundary between Disability Studies and Special Education through Consilience, Self-Study, and Radical Love, the authors explore what it means to engage in boundary work at the intersection of traditional special education systems and critical disability studies in education. The book consists of fifteen groundbreaking accounts that challenge dominant medicalized discourses about what it means to exist within and around special education systems that create space for new conceptions of what it means to teach, lead, learn, and exist within a conciliatory space driven by radical love and disability justice principles. The book pushes readers to consider how their own personal, professional and programmatic future transformational actions can be driven by disruption and the desire for freedom from the hegemony of traditional special education and White and Ability supremacy.

An astute analysis of how the US Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is enacted in K–12 schools and a clarion call for a shift away from perfunctory compliance and toward true equity In Beyond Compliance, Catherine Kramarczuk Voulgarides underscores the urgent need for change in how US schools implement the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Voulgarides finds that, although the landmark legislation has benefited millions of eligible public school students with disabilities, it has also indirectly amplified educational inequities, such as the enduring problem of racial disproportionality in special education across classifications, placements, and disciplinary outcomes. Through analysis of the latest research and stories of special education in action, Voulgarides shows that IDEA’s success depends greatly on how it is interpreted and applied by educators and school administrators. The book guides practitioners in a critical examination of special education policies and procedures in their institutions. It provides critical tools, concepts, and question prompts to analyze IDEA compliance and its equity impacts on individuals and systems. It gives an actionable framework to help educators recognize the paradox of compliance—where adherence to the letter of the law does not always produce favorable outcomes for students—and its contributing factors, and to identify pathways for transformation that move toward racial and ability equity at the local level. Ultimately, Voulgarides makes a compelling case for schools to practice a more adaptive compliance to IDEA legislation to provide meaningful educational access and opportunity.
