[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Special Ed is gone. That’s funded by the federal government.

Which sucks, because my son has an IEP and he gets services 4 days/week. He’s mainstreamed and those services have been critical to his development. [/quote]

But if you are in a blue state, they will remain. Probably enhanced because your state isn’t also carrying a taker state.

Of you are in a red state—- well, FAFO, I guess. [/quote]

IDEA would still be federal law. They would still have some form of plan but without the Office of Civil Rights (protector of rights and IEPs for special education in the DOE) these plans may become harder to enforce.[/quote]

IDEA is already not enforced.

Give the enforcement to DOJ.  Specifically the Civil Division.  They would do a much better job than the DOE Office of Civil Rights. [/quote]

IDEA enforcement is delegated to the states, not to OCR. 
OCR is supposed to handle discrimination, which is a bit different, and there can be overlapping claims. 
IDEA complaints, mediation, and due process are ALL handled at the state level (unless a due process case ends up going to federal court).
