[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IEP system has been broken for many years. DOE isn’t doing their job so give it to someone else and hope it gets better.[/quote]

The Dept. of Ed's actual functions are really misunderstood. It's mostly a bank that distributes guidance and federal $ that Congress appropriates for Pell Grants, Title 1, IDEA, and some relatively tiny other grant programs, like for HBCUs.

Implementation/IEPs are at the state and mostly local levels. As a PP said, if you want it to get better, Congress needs to actually fund IDEA and the ADA (which it never has, not even close). That's why the Trump rhetoric re: giving power to the states on this issue is misleading - they already have the authority, just not enough $.

The Dept. of Ed does investigate civil rights violations under IDEA, which DOGE will almost certainly cut. And it seems likely that IDEA and Title 1 funding, which pay for many SPED positions at schools, will be diminished more.

This is bad for kids.
