Editorial urges equal access to charter schools
June 18th, 2009An editorial in the Denver Post says action is needed to assure that kids with disabilities are being treated fairly in admissions to charter schools. A recent story found that only 6.9 percent of students enrolled in Colorado charters in 2007-08 had identified disabilities, as compared with 9.7 percent in all schools.
We would like to see that gap close … Charters and the districts that authorize them need to do a better job of ensuring that children with disabilities are getting a fair shake when it comes to charter schools.
The promise of choice is one that ought to be extended equally to all students, including those with disabilities.
