Advocates say schools across the U.S. are removing students with disabilities from the classroom, often in response to challenging behavior, by sending them home or cutting back on the days they’re allowed to attend.
Khloe Warne, 12, browses the shelves at the Josephine Community Library, Thursday, May 18, 2023, in Grants Pass, Ore. Khloe loves drawing, writing and especially reading in second grade, she was already reading at a sixth grade level. But she only goes to school one day a week for two hours and hasn't been on a regular school schedule for years.
“She just wants a friend,” Alyssa Warne said. “It’s not asking much to send your kid to school for at least one whole day.”, often in response to challenging behavior, by sending them home or cutting back on the days they’re allowed to attend. In Oregon, a clash between parents and schools culminated this spring at the Statehouse. A bill to curb the use of shortened days, essentially giving parents veto power over such a decision, is pending in the House of Representatives after near-unanimous passage in the Senate. Pressure from school boards and superintendents has hurt the legislation's chances, its chief sponsor said.
Since the 1970s, federal law has guaranteed students with disabilities the right to a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. This means, as much as possible, they should be learning alongside their peers who don’t have disabilities, with necessary accommodations. It’s illegal for school districts to cite a lack of money or staff as a reason for not educating a child with disabilities.
