As of this morning, NONE of the special education children in the city have heard where they are going to middle school. This includes kids who have IEPs and need to be in Collaborative Team Teaching (CTT) classrooms (a combination special education/general education classroom with two teachers—it used to be called inclusion).

Parents of these kids have heard nothing and it really is an outrage. Why should these kids be made to feel like they come last?

The district gets to choose which CTT classrooms these kids get put into. This is extremely disconcerting to parents who certainly have a preference as to which school their children go to.

At PS 321, the general education appeals were brought to OSEPO by the guidance counselor yesterday.

We filed an appeal and hope that the district does right by us. The guidance counselor said that she found OSFO’s name on the data base at OSEPO but she was attached to no school. She told me that if we get into the wrong school, we’ll just have to appeal again.

Or do the mom march.
