Schools are required to educate students in a least restrictive environment. That means that if a student goes to Basis and has a learning disability then the student is still a student at that school. They must educate the child and can't counsel them out or deny them education. It is federal and District law. [/quote]

PP, the least restrictive environment principle only applies to students with a documented disability covered by IDEA.

Earlier you, or another PP, posted the following:

[quote]It's not hard to understand. The law is that every public school has to accept every student and then accommodate that student's needs. It's pretty simple. [/quote]

In response, I posted the following:

[quote]PP, please cite the law that requires DC charter schools to accommodate every student's needs. [/quote]

IDEA does not require DC charter schools to accommodate the needs of all students, only of those students with disabilities covered by IDEA.

Can you cite a law that applies to all students?
