[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think equity may be referring to the fact that MCPS would not make the program available to students who live down/East county due to the excessive length of the bus ride which can be very challenging for many students. There was no will or budget to replicate the program. [/quote]

let me repeat this:

Did you read the article? She explained it pretty clearly:

“ Frustratingly, autism programs are being emaciated under the veil of equity and efficiency: That by combining kids with autism who were receiving the support they needed with other children with various learning disabilities with less specialized support means that all needs will be met.”

It’s about mainstreaming.

I guess this isn’t the SN board so people don’t get it 🤷‍♀️ But you’ll SURE be back here squawking about how those parents need to “do something” about their “bad kid” who is tearing up the classroom. When that happens please remember that MCPS ended the program where those kids could be cared for more appropriately. Enjoy. [/quote]
