Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is preparing recommendations on whether schools should be freed from some disability law requirements amid the pandemic.
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos is expected to make a recommendation to Congress regarding potential temporary IDEA waivers within days.
“What do you think schools are going to do? They’re not going to meet [the law’s requirements]. Some are not going to even try,” said Miriam Rollin, director of the Education Civil Rights Alliance at the National Center for Youth Law. “That’s potentially creating irreparable harm for kids with disabilities and it’s not fair. It’s not right.”
“We certainly care about our special education kids but right now everybody is behind,” said Duchon. “We’re doing really as much as we can remotely and hoping really there’s a waiver and some coverage, so we don’t get sued. ... California is a very litigious state.” Groups like the National Association of State Directors of Special Education and the Council of Administrators of Special Education see it differently.
“There are a lot of groups out there, a lot of parent groups, stirring the pot on this, for lack of a better word,” Becerra-Murillo said. “We have always done the best we can to support our students, regardless of whether or not we have a waiver.”
