Annual Education Policy Luncheon: The Legal Consequences of a Tuition Assistance Grant for Students With Disabilities.
Even in the best schools, children with disabilities often have special needs that are difficult to obtain in a 'one size fits all' system. No matter how superb a school's program may be, those with special needs usually require a more customized education that is often too challenging for a system trying to education a broad range of children.
When parents and school systems disagree about that customized education, it often leads to expensive and antagonistic IEP meetings, due process hearings and lawsuits. But the parents in five states are able to obtain state scholarships to send their children to the public or private school that best meets their child's unique needs.
Why not Virginia? Our November 21 luncheon in Colonial Williamsburg will feature former Virginia State Solicitor William Hurd, and seek to answer the questions of parents, who are used to working in a tightly-regulated environment; and of opponents, who have raised the specter of unmonitored schools and expensive lawsuits.
