Is This Still a Good IDEA? Or Has Inclusion Reached a Tipping Point?
I represent school districts. At a recent state-level school law conference, I came to the realization that none of my colleagues were happy about the state of Special Education with respect to the demands of students whose needs are increasingly primarily related to emotional and mental health. The SPED attorneys are at a loss. The teacher attorneys are concerned about the safety of their clients. The parent attorneys are increasingly arguing for more restrictive placements. The attorneys who represent the school boards are struggling to explain the obligations and costs associated with increasing calls for nonpublic and residential placements. This presentation examines the foundational principle of inclusion upon which IDEA is based and attempts to reconcile that idea with the reality that the general education setting may no longer be the least restrictive environment for an increasing number of children.
