I wish more parents of special needs students were more vocal to the board of education.


Amen. Mainstreaming everyone is not working for anyone.

It’s higher than BOE - Maryland state mandate is 70% of students with IEPs mainstreamed for all or part of the day.

I wish decision were made about kids not arbitrary stats.

Can you explain the new team approach you reference?
