Special Education in DC Schools – Education Town Hall ForumSPECIAL EDUCATION IN DC SCHOOLS
The October 10 Education Town Hall show will feature a discussion of the state of special education in DC’s publicly funded schools with three local experts and advocates. DC has a long history of troubled and inequitable special education services, which the June 2019 annual letter from the Department of Education highlights, including abiding by the provisions of the IDEA law as well as unlicensed special education providers in charter schools. Our guests will outline the problems as well as some solutions going forward.
