Episode # 139 - School Voucher Programs Part 02
In this episode, Laurie continues explaining school voucher programs. While school voucher/ESA programs offer flexibility, families of students with disabilities should be cautious - IDEA's strongest protections only apply in public schools. Once a child moves to a private school, IEPs are no longer legally enforceable and services become limited, leaving families with far fewer rights and recourse if their child's needs aren't met.
