[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m beyond livid at how stupid people are.
If you have a child with an IEP they will be affected by Musk/MAGA shutting down the Dept of Education.

I’m a speech therapist. I worked for VB schools for 2 years. Let me be clear: Federal funding is attached to IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) the law that gives your child IEP services. Which is overseen by the Dept of Education. Call your senator, representatives and the VA state governor, Youngkin (who is running ads to shut down the Dept of Ed).[/quote][b]

Dear OP. Please check your asumptions before posting again. Too many moms are pisting hysterical nonesense, which helps no one.

IEPs and 504 plans are protected by federal law under IDEA and Section 504, independent of the Department of Education's structure. Even if the Department changes, these protections remain intact.

The school district and its team issues the IEP not ED. The state supervises the school district and the school. There will be no change even if Congress agrees with Trump and abolishes the deoartment. IDEA protection and enforcement will go back to HHS (where it came from, HEW) or enforcement can go to DOJ. That is all.[/quote]

Trump can overturn IDEA just like he overturned Roe versus Wade. That is what his intention is. No federal mandates or involvement or funding. States have ALWAYS needed more federal funding to follow IDEA and implement FAPE and special education.

He’s giving states the path to get rid of special education. Wait for it.

IDEA could stand being overhauled, as it stands there’s too much red tape.  [/quote]
