Charter Schools and Students with Special Needs

Mary Bailey Estes

University of North Texas, estes{at}coefs.coe.unt.edu

In this article, 3 concerns voiced by legal analysts and advocates for students with disabilities regarding charter schools are reviewed, the extent of special education services in charter schools in Texas is reported, and the validity of those concerns is examined. Data submitted to the Texas Public Education Information Management System were reviewed, and interviews with charter school administrators were conducted. The author examined 5 principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act—zero reject; individualized education program; appropriate assessment; free appropriate public education; and least restrictive environment—as well as levels of expertise in federal disability law, fiscal barriers, disability categories, and regional variations.
