On October 28 the Education Committee of the City Council
held a hearing to examine DOE’s ongoing efforts to improve instruction for
students with disabilities. The Metropolitan Parent Center submitted testimony
on behalf of the many parents it serves stating that it believes “the DOE falls
short in its endeavor to meet its responsibility to provide students with
disabilities with their right to a Free Appropriate Public Education.” Under
IDEA the District has a mandate to oversee and supervise the progress of the
special education programs. As such, the MPC recommends that the DOE conduct a
comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of its initiatives. See more at: http://sinergiany.org/node/1297
