Special Education and School Choice in Washington, D.C.
McKittrick, Lanya; Lake, Robin; Sharma, Roohi
Center on Reinventing Public Education
The Center on Reinventing Public Education has long focused on making school choice work. Parents of children with disabilities face greater barriers to choosing schools for their children. This brief is the first installment in a series of reports examining how parents of children with disabilities experience the process of choosing schools. The goal is to identify barriers and help school system leaders develop interventions that can guide parents to overcome them. Washington, D.C., has systems in place to improve the school choice process for families--most notably the collaboration among stakeholders. Many of the challenges identified are known to the parent support organizations; stakeholders are working to make progress in these areas.
