[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 122731, member: 23"] Out of compliance tomorrow? lol They've been out of compliance. I can't believe the permanent suspension was put into writing. It matters not that your child attends a Charter school, the school must still abide by IDEA. From US Dept of Education: [URL]http://www.ed.gov/pubs/chartlegis/part1.html[/URL] Every charter school is part of its state's educational system and all states participate in IDEA, so all charter schools have obligations under IDEA. Most of the state charter school statutes reviewed for this report were passed before the 1997 amendments to IDEA. The IDEA amendments clarify obligations of charter schools to students with disabilities and ways in which charter schools may access federal special education funds and services, whether through a district or directly from the state. If a charter school is considered a freestanding LEA (that is, a local education agency or district), it must be treated by the state the same as other freestanding LEAs in regard to applying for federal funds. For charter schools that are part of an LEA, the LEA must serve children with disabilities attending those schools in the same manner as it serves children with disabilities in other schools. The LEA must provide IDEA funds to those schools in the same manner as it provides those funds to its other schools.4 If the basic agreement in the sd attorney letter is correct, mark out the parts where they are trying to shun their responsibilities and let it rip. I'd still file a complaint with-the US Dept of Ed. [/QUOTE]
