Virginia parents lobby to maintain role in special ed decisions
May 16th, 2008From the Roanoke Times:
Parents around Virginia are turning out at public hearings to oppose proposed rule changes that would allow school systems to transfer students out of special education without parental consent.
Parents said they feared that school systems would use the rule changes to trim the number of special education students, even when students still needed services.
“I am not aware of any parents who frivolously seek to burden their children with the continued stigma of a disability just because,” said one mother. “However I have heard of examples of a school seeking to terminate services to a child just because they could.”
