Examiner Local Editorial: To help special-ed students, improve public schools

Published



As The Examiner reported last week, parents of 1,100 special needs D.C. students enrolled in private schools are being pressed to return their children to their neighborhood public schools. Some are being informed that the District will no longer pay their tuition and transportation costs. Others are being pushed into less expensive programs that may not meet their children’s needs. This has created great anxiety for families whose children will be transferred back to the same schools previously judged incapable of meeting their needs.
