Project SEARCH: Special Education as Requirements in Charter Schools

Download: pdf icon http://www.nasdse.org/documents/ProjectSearch.pdf
Among the more complex challenges facing charter schools is the responsibility to provide education to students with disabilities under various federal civil-rights based laws including the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Project SEARCH was a qualitative research study designed to respond to the need for clarifying information about the implementation of special education policy in the nation's public charter schools. The final report can be downloaded in PDF format. Visit the NASDSE site for further details.
