OUTRAGEOUS!

That is the only term that comes to mind when reading Mr. O'Keefe's remarks!

I attended the meeting, as I do most budget commission meetings, and I was floored by the notion that special education children are "robbing" the rest of the teachers and students!

All IEP plans are regulated by the US Department of Education and the IDEA, as well as the State dept of Ed.

And there is no provision for "lowest cost"; or cutting services because we are a financially distressed community. The law recommends schoold districts do what is best for the individual child.
