Can a school eliminate resource room services just because it wants to?
Schools are required to ensure a continuum of special education placement options is available to meet students' individual needs.
A resource room can provide targeted support while helping students remain connected to general education.
But resource room services and self-contained placements are NOT the same thing!
Parents, if your child's school proposes removing resource room support, ask how the decision aligns with their IEP and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) requirements.
Placement decisions should be based on student needs—not convenience!
