MPR: The Impact Of A Special Education Mandate 1 million disabled students were at least partly excluded from public schools. Norena Hale, with the special education division of the minnesota http://news.minnesota.publicradio.org/features/200210/21_pugmiret_specialed/
Extractions: October 21, 2002 In 1975, President Ford signed landmark legislation that guaranteed every disabled child equal access to an education. Congress will soon begin work to reauthorize the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This complex law has opened up learning opportunities for millions of children. But it's also consistently criticized as the classic unfunded mandate, one that puts a financial drain on school districts. Paula Goldberg is executive director of the PACER Center, Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational Rights. The Bloomington, Minnesota-based organization has been helping parents of disabled children understand their rights under the federal special education law since 1978. Goldberg says the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has been remarkably successful. (
Minnesota Charter School Resource Center (MCSRC) Handbook Children with special needs have a right to attend the school you are creating, Some schools contract with the minnesota special Education Project http://www.hhh.umn.edu/centers/school-change/handbook/speced.htm
Extractions: Table of Contents Special Education The U.S. Congress has passed a series of laws describing how public schools - including charter public schools - must work with students whose academic needs qualify them for special education services. P. L. 94-142 (Education of the Handicapped Act of 1975, since renamed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or IDEA) guarantees that a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) is made available to students with disabilities and provides funding to assist states to implement its requirements. In thinking about working with children with special needs, we urge those creating charter schools to consider these points: Children with special needs have a right to attend the school you are creating, every bit as much as any other student. Under state and federal law, Minnesota charter schools must be open to all kinds of students, including those with special needs. While Minnesota charter law provides waivers from many state rules and regulations for charter schools, the requirement to use federally developed standards in special education has NOT been waived.

Extractions: Top of page In Minnesota, charter schools are analogous to freestanding school districts, similar to a very small local education agency (LEA) or an independent school district. Federal and state law mandate that charter schools provide a free and appropriate education for children and youth with disabilities. Charter school planners and operators need to understand the basic elements of the federal and state laws on education for students with disabilities in order to give appropriate consideration to these laws in policy and programming decisions. The following presents basic terms of charter school special education responsibilities. More detail is provided in the Minnesota Charter Schools Special Education Handbook , which is a very helpful document for any charter operator (see Resources IDEA requires all public schools to provide for the following: child find or identification of children with disabilities
