In In re Adoption of Amendments to N.J.A.C. 6:28-2.10, 305 N.J. Super. 389, 702 A.2d 838 (App.Div.1997), the Court summarized the federal initiative and its relationship to this State, as follows: The IDEA (formerly the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA)), provides federal money to assist states and local agencies in educating handicapped children. Receipt of those funds is conditioned on a participating state's compliance with the IDEA's goals and requirements. New Jersey has elected to participate in the federal program. As such, it has enacted legislation, N.J.S.A. 18A:46-1 to -46, and adopted regulations, N.J.A.C. now 6A:14-1.1 to -10.2, that assure all handicapped children the right to a free appropriate public education (FAPE) as required by the IDEA. Id. at 394, 702 A.2d 838.
