Dude you JUST NOW googled IDEA and still feel qualified to hold forth on the subject? Please just stop. [/quote]

Yes, just now, at your suggestion, remember?  And yes, I think parents and parents to be who are not familiar with the details of IDEA are entitled to an opinion about schools, although I am perfectly willing to learn about the legal requirements as well.  I can see you don't feel the same way.  So far you haven't actually made a substantive point, just thrown insults.   Feel free to jump in with something useful, I'm listening.[/quote]

OK. IDEA means that schools including charter schools have the obligation to provide disabled students with an appropriate education and the supports needed to access the curriculum. BASIS repeatedly violated these requirements in its middle school. Not because the kids were too dumb to keep up (your extremely ignorant and insulting suggestion) but because BASIS outright ignored their IEPs (the legally binding plans stating the supports they needed due to their disabilities).  Hence, the charter board was exactly right to questiom whether BASIS had a plan for special needs for their elementary schools. Special needs are identified in elementary and preschool and kids benefit greatly from early intervention. Those kids have rights and BASIS was not prepared to meet them. [/quote]
