VIRGINIA BOARD OF EDUCATION IT IS YOUR DUTY TO ALIGN THE VIRGINIA SPECIAL REGULATIONS WITH THE FEDERAL I.D.E.A.
VIRGINIA AND KANSAS ARE THE ONLY STATES THAT EXCEED THE FEDERAL MANDATES. THERE ARE 48 STATES WHICH DO NOT EXCEED THE FEDERAL MANDATE -- AND NOBODY IS BEING LEFT BEHIND -- NO PARENTS, NO CHILDREN AND NO PROFESSIONALS. HOW CAN PARENTS SAY THAT THEY ARE HAVING THEIR RIGHTS TAKEN AWAY WHEN THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS.
VIRGINIA BOARD OF EDUCATION IS IT YOUR DUTY TO ALIGN THE STATE SPED REGS WITH FEDERAL IDEA.
IF PARENTS WITH CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS HAVE A GOOD, TRUSTING, HONORING WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR SCHOOL DIVISIONS, THEY HAVE NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING BEING TAKEN AWAY.
