Extractions: The editorial states, unequivocally, that public schools are "unequipped" to meet the needs of severely disabled children. Utah spends $240.3 million (federal and state money) on special education. Schools are equipped to assign students with more extensive needs to teachers who have more training, as indicated by their special education license and ongoing professional development, in the required areas. Districts can assign students to schools where their needs can be met. Districts can even agree to send a student to a private school, with public funds, if the team evaluating the student finds that is best. This does not happen often, however, because the public schools are fully capable of providing the services disabled students need.

As you probably know, a compromise bill reauthorizing IDEA recently passed the Senate and is expected to be signed by the President soon. I was a supporter of this bill, S.717, which balances the interests of school administrators and individuals with disabilities." "As you may know, IDEA was originally enacted in 1975. At that time, more than one million children with disabilities received no public education and another 3.5 million were unable to receive appropriate programs within their schools. In 1975, the Federal courts recognized that children with disabilities had a Constitutional right to equal educational opportunity. IDEA was enacted to help States and communities meet their obligations. The program currently serves 5.4 million children. Efforts to reauthorize IDEA floundered last year, leading to the development of a bipartisan working group this year."
