Montgomery Countyis trying to mainstream many of these kids and they just don’t have the properly trained staff.
Mainstreaming has been the law (Public Law 94-142) since 1975.
They have had nearly 50 years to get it right.
They shouldn’t be “trying,” they should be doing. They get boatloads of extra money for each pupil on an ARD to provide additional assistance, tools, training, and support staff. Where is the school spending it?
Maybe they should consult the Mansfield ISD in Texas. They have a great support system; lots of their spectrum kids graduate and go on to college.
And the principals are not stomping on feet. That could get someone shot down here.
Not angry at you, cnsmom. Just upset at a system that diverts resources from their intended purpose. Happens a lot.

I’m wondering if more and more schools are doing this so they don’t have to have properly trained staff.
