And here’s someone who doesn’t fully understand. There are plenty of people who won’t complain about something like this, because they already feel disenfranchised, they don’t think anyone will listen, they don’t think it will do any good, or they don’t realize they have the right to do so. Just because no one complains doesn’t mean everyone’s happy.Six students returning to IPS “could not be served because the school did not provide the student with the needed special education services,” White said. Five students were homeless. Failing to serve homeless students violates federal law. Failing to serve special needs students violates state and federal laws.
Simnick said Department of Education data showed charter schools don’t discriminate. He said a high number of students move to and from urban public schools, including charters, because parents change jobs or move their families to different parts of town.
“I have yet to hear a single parent come forward and say a charter school is denying them access to the services they require,” Simnick said.
White last week apologized for his comments in a radio interview that IPS, unlike charter and private schools, cannot turn away hard-to-educate students.
