[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me why there isn't a 20-page thread on why school without walls has ZERO% special needs kids???

why the double standard?[/quote]

If you actually want the answer?  It's because Banneker and Walls are part of a larger LEA.  There's no obligation under disability law for a child to be accepted into a specialized program that they would not otherwise qualify for. But if they could succeed with supports, they have to be admitted.  So for a level 3 or 4 IEP, there's no duty for Banneker or Walls to provide services, most likely.  They can go elsewhere with in the LEA (any DCPS) and be served.  But yeah, there should be some kids with IEPs/504s in Banneker and Walls.  OSSE/DCPS should look into it. [/quote]

I get the legal distinction, but not the overall philopshical one. The reality is that DC schools are all on the table for all students. Why, in concept, is it ok for one group of schools to discriminate with SN kids and one not?

I do want the answer, because what consititutes an LEA is a legal but not practical distinction as far as I can see.[/quote]

this is about my kid’s legal rights; not super interested in having a philosophical debate.
