STRATEGY #8 OF A WORLD-CLASS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM:

Because many of our students face additional educational challenges, we must provide extra support and different strategies for students who need them.  Whenever possible, students with disabilities and other special needs should be served in the least restrictive learning environment, and if a student’s need for additional support has been met, that student should transition out of special services to participate fully in mainstream programs along with his or her peers.  In addition, funding these mandated services should not require the reallocation of general education funding intended to support core programs for all students.
