More Catholic schools serving students with disabilities
February 23rd, 2010From the Washington Post:
Federal law does not require Catholic schools to educate students with disabilities, and financial constraints have historically made it difficult for the schools to do so. Church officials now say that is starting to change, with recent figures showing that 42 percent of Catholic schools offer some services for kids with disabilities.
“Children with disabilities have a right to a faith-based education,” said a school superintendent from a Virginia diocese. “We want to provide that as best we can.”
