[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting about the charter = system under IDEA. It makes sense actually - if the charter is sucking off funds from DCPS then is can't just refuse to do IEPs because that would destabilize funding streams, assuming that the per-pupil money they get is averaged to include IEPs/IDEA students.

But I wonder if this is good for students? Obviously if there are too many charters refusing to provide "fair and adequate public educations" then access becomes a real issue. But are charter schools really equipped to give the best education to students with extensive special needs? [/quote]

DCPS is [b]not[/b] equipped to meet the needs of many special needs children as well and pays to send them to private schools. So really what is your point? Unfortunately, I think it is totally unrealistic and inefficient for [b]every[/b] single school, whether public or charter, to meet the needs of every single student. Therefore, I think the laws governing special education should be revised in order to reflect these hard realities.

BASIS has a good plan of action to resolve any issues in the meantime. If you read the report from the charter school board it sounds like it was mostly a paper trail problem.[/quote]

Yeah but if they can't even keep the paperwork in order, it certainly brings into question how well they implement IEP plans.[/quote]
