Project Intersect: How Special Education and Charter Schools Coexist

http://www.education.umd.edu/EDSP/ProjectIntersect/presentations.html
This federally funded three year study of how special education and charter schools intersect offers a series of reports of how special education is accessed and delivered to children in charters who have disabilities. The project examines several issues, including: (1) how does state charter school legislation, including the authorization and appeal process, influence access to special education and related services; (2) how is special education incorporated in charter school policies and procedures; (3) how do children with disabilities access special education and related services in charter schools; and (4) how are charter schools building their capacity to provide special education? The initiative's 5th and 6th reports, Access and Accountability for Students With Disabilities in California Charter Schools and a Survey of Charter School Authorizers, are now available on the project's website, along with earlier reports. The 7th and final report from the study is expected in summer 2007.

Date: 2007
