Since December 2, 1975, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has been the nation’s special education law. It gives rights and protections to kids with disabilities. Parents and legal guardians also have rights under the law. Before IDEA, it was common for states to place kids with disabilities in separate schools. Or in separate classrooms away from their peers. Their education was often poor and underfunded. Academic expectations were low. Kids with learning and thinking differences typically didn’t get the help they needed to thrive in school.
With substantial financial assistance from the federal government and the Department of Education, students with disabilities are now provided with all the supports they need to thrive in public schools across the country, including ours.
Today and each day, we celebrate our students, their families, their teachers, and their supporters. #ManyPartsOneHive
We are thankful for all of Hornet Nation!
