Reply To: What is mandated in NY for private schooling

Mammele, bloggerman2 – Please don’t mention specific areas, this is a legal question.

DaMoshe – Thanks

ZD: Why should a yiddish speaker get special treatment and not a Pashtun speaker.

The school district would be required to provide services in Pashtun, or send the special ed child to a school that does.

So what I’m getting from the discussion is that the real issue is special ed placement, which could legally go to either a public or private school.

Question for y’all. Should a board (or where applicable, a fiscal monitor) not choose the least expensive option that is still considered minimally adequate (to save taxpayer costs?). Does minimally adequate need to be defined? Would a possible solution not be to create a public school special ed option in Pashtun?
