School board drops special ed gag orders
May 27th, 2008From the Malibu [California] Times:
The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education has voted to drop confidentiality clauses in agreements with parents of special education students.
The move paves the way for the Santa Monica City Council to restore a $530,000 increase in the city’s annual contribution to the school district that it threatened to withhold last summer.
Including confidentiality clauses in agreements on a student’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) had been roundly criticized since last May, when parents told the Santa Monica City Council they lived in fear of losing services for their children through an inadvertent slip of the tongue.
