Special education

I am concerned because it is usually a struggle to maintain and implement Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Now with the possible appointment of Betsy DeVos, there are going to be real concerns for students with disabilities getting services in public schools as well as public schools in general. She admitted that her appointment was due to her family's extensive financial support of Trump's campaign and her experiences is largely with advocating on behalf of charter schools. Traditionally these types of schools are not disability "friendly." We can write are legislators if we feel the need to be heard but other than scheduling a second confirmation hearing due to congressional concerns, what we can do may be limited.
