[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were smart to put the money towards your child.  The judges who rule on these cases nearly always decide against parents - something like 80% of the time in Maryland.  It’s a shame for the children trapped in the system who don’t have parents who can pay.  What is disturbing is how much of our money goes to outside counsel to fight these families simply trying to help their children.  Millions of dollars.  [/quote]

+1 Outside counsel does not come out of the school system budget.  It comes out of the Montgomery County Government budget.  Until MCPS has to use their own budgetary dollars they will choose legal fights instead of paying for Special Education services.

MCPS is a broken system of inequity for students with disabilities.  Educating kids with disabilities is not a priority.  Dr. Smith gutted Special Education.  Hopefully Dr. McKnight will hire more staff including special education teachers, school psychologists, and para educators. To hire more, MCPS needs to pay more.  The proof is how long positions remain vacant.
