Special Education directly affects approximately 16% of the students enrolled in LAUSD schools. These 70,000+ students rely on the District to provide them with services that will help them reach their full potential.
Even families who do not have children with IEPs or 504 plans feel the effects of poorly executed Special Education programs. When students who have differing needs are forced into general education programs or fail to receive the support that they need, the entire classroom can be thrown into turmoil.
