[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is the person in special ed who has proposed all of these changes to the ESY schedule? As someone who has worked ESY for the last 10+ years, I’m very concerned about the impacts of these changes. [/quote]

Don't underestimate how much Taylor diddles in areas in which he shouldn't. The habit of tearing things up to reorganize in ways yet unknown is harming our school system.[/quote]

I support his efforts to do this.  The status quo was/is not working and he is moving quickly to try to find solutions.  The “harm” you mention is speculative.[/quote]

Support what?  A year ago he was trying to fund more sped and now taking it away?   Test scores are down.  Kids are struggling.  This is a need, not want.  [/quote]

All kids are struggling though. Not just sped kids. It may be better to spend the money in a way to benefit all kids not just sped kids. That being said, more high quality alternative programs are needed with easier access but that is not even on the table [/quote]

Sped kids are mostly in gen ed classrooms. Not supporting them affects everyone.[/quote]

Most of the kids are not supported or minimally supported.  Let’s be real.  [/quote]

Interesting. My kid is in first grade and doesn't have an IEP. I have found her teachers to be phenomenal and definitely supportive.[/quote]

To offer another data point. My kid was not supported at all. Teased. Bullied. Suspended. Sent to the office almost daily. ASD. No IEP. Stalled again and again by the school administration, until we hired an attorney. This was in an "excellent" 9-10/10 rated school.   [/quote]

Same- my kid was not supported at all. I basically had to educate my DD myself[/quote]
