Also, even if you get funded, it is a yearly process! DCPS makes you jump through the hoops, expense and frustration every year!!

If DCPS OSSE agrees that your in bounds/neighborhood school is not able to properly accomodate your child, they have the right to send your child to an out of bounds, Full time, DCPS, special ed only school like Jeffeson or Macfarland. Those school only deal with special ed kids.

In 2012, Jefferson had an enrollment of 369 and that same year they had over 400 suspensions.
They put kids with all different disabilities in the same classes, for example, a child with language based ld, such as mixed receptive, receptive disorder could be in class with a child who had emotional disorders. That often means that the classrooms are more managing behaviors than learning reading or math.
DCPS is despicable and shamefull with their special ed population.

Doesn't a parent have to consent to the placement?

Jefferson is not a special ed-only school. It is the destination school for several elementaries, and most kids don't have special needs. MacFarland is also not a special ed-only school. Right now, it is housing Roosevelt students while their high school is being renovated. Then it will be renovated and reopen as a general enrollment (neighborhood) middle school.
