DoEd permanently fires Most Special Ed Staff [View all]
The Mango Mussolini administration fires most of the DoEd Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Office staff, including all of the staff supporting IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) which is the primary federal law supporting students with disabilities.
These are billed as permanent cuts, not furloughs.
This administration has repeatedly stated that it cares a great deal about special education.
This is how they show that "great concern".
