[quote=Anonymous]IDEA applies to all students birth-21 who qualify. The IS students are entitled to IEP services, whether it’s provided at TCS or spear across the county. So the laws I cite DO apply, and if APS cannot provide an equivalent LRE, then they are subject to due process and litigation by families. So APS will not actually be saving a ton of money because they still would need to cover the costs of these services, including staff salaries and benefits. Also, every child receiving special education services brings in federal funding - at least for now. Even if the Department of Education is disbanded, IDEA is still federally mandated under law passed by Congress. Also, while TCS is a private facility, if you dig into public records, APS helped fund the construction of the new facility in conjunction with TCS. Considering how new the facility is, that would be a HUGE waste of taxpayer dollars.[/quote]
