The writer of the series on schools stated: “Legal compliance does not ensure confidence.” She was mostly addressing schools being “transparent.” There’s more though. I am a retired Sp. Ed. teacher who taught locally. Where I worked the administrator in charge of Sp. Ed. removed certified Sp. Ed. teachers from the In-Class Support classes, replacing them with aides. When we expressed that this severely hurt the classified students, the response was “Its legal.” She also had non Sp. Ed. teachers teaching Resource Room. Again—“It’s legal.” What’s best for the kids?
