[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Students with disabilities were denied access to the curriculum during online learning because MCPS was quick to restrict accommodations and services. Now that school is in person, is your child receiving the accommodations and services formalized on an IEP or 504 plan?[/quote]

I think this is their top priority. They spend something like 6X more on these students than anyone else and although they aren't perfect, if you don't have a 504/IEP you can expect to be ignored completely.[/quote]

You obviously are not a parent of a child with a disability.

Students with 504 plans only receive accommodations. These students are not receiving any extra services so no where near the 6 times amount you are quoting without a reference for your belief.

MCPS actually receive federal and state grants to educate students with disabilities in addition to funds from these agencies tied to laws that protect students from discrimination. When MCPS discriminates, they risk enforcement action that can include withholding of state and federal funding. It’s in the interest of all children for MCPS to be compliant.[/quote]

504 is not funded at all. There are two instructional specialists at central office and that's it. Anything else related to 504 is just added to various staff members' plates as an "other duty as assigned." [/quote]

All students benefit from US Department of Education grants. These grants can be withdrawn if school systems violate Section 504 or the ADA.  [/quote]
