Before moving a student to a MORE RESTRICTIVE setting, what has the school actually tried?
Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) isn't just about where a child is placed. It's about ensuring students have meaningful opportunities to learn alongside their nondisabled peers.
Schools must consider appropriate supplementary aids and services before determining that education in a general education classroom cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
Parents, ask what supports have been provided, how they were implemented, and whether they were effective!
Placement decisions should be individualized—not based on assumptions about a child's disability.
