In the past 12 months Mayor de Blasio has radically changed NYC’s approach to special ed and they now generally do not fight against parents request for private placement. And any Board of Ed in the suburbs has the right to decide how hard, or how not hard, they will legally challenge parents request. If they wish to be more accommodating, like de Blasio has now made NYC, it is certainly within the local BOE’s right to be so accommodating to special ed parents. Especially insofar as not putting up a legal fight against the parents.
