Over the summer Concerned Hamburger received several emails and comments from bloggers who expressed grave concern for the state of services provided, or not provided, to the most vulnerable students in the schools- children with disabilities and those who need a little extra help with services, such as extra time taking tests or assistance with notes in class.
Over the years, many bloggers have remarked that when it comes to "special education" Hamburg errs on the side of cheap. Many bloggers have remarked that Individual Education Plans, aka "IEPs" are not being properly completed and executed, because the school district has failed to provide enough staff. For example, physical education and adaptive physical education is an area often overlooked, New York State Laws are specific, and must be followed. See link: NYSED Physical Education
If a parent or guardian would like to learn more about the laws that govern special needs students, here is the link: NYSED Special Education Law- Part 200 .
