3. Abbott is all about going back in time before a FAPE at the home campus or in a close by therapy

center, paid for by the home school district writing a grant for special needs, through IDEA funding. The US Department of Education Dallas Branch Office will come out to the district and HELP the Special Education Department write the grant. If a student's needs are set up in an IEP, then it is easy. The Texas Education Agency and/or the local school district saying that only a percent of students get that care, is against the law. The therapy or education should be on the same home campus as the peers.

Please feel free to look into any of the acronyms in this reply.

This is going to be a big deal because Trump wants a cabinet member to do away with IDEA's free appropriate education of persons with disabilities even though billions of dollars have been in the IDEA fund since 1990! This care is already established in all 50 states. I think that the Republicans want to convert the money into tax breaks for the wealthy and war machine contracts and leave students that are paralyzed laying on the floor How would they get into a school bus to ride home? IDEA pays for the special needs bus at no cost to the school district! This is just one case that should set the public to thinking. What an asshole Abbott is; he uses a wheel chair himself.
