Education Secretary Linda McMahon had a message for parents of students with disabilities on Tuesday as she announced seismic shifts to federal special education oversight: 鈥淚鈥檝e heard you.鈥
In listening sessions and at school visits, McMahon said thousands of parents described struggles to get their children the services to which they鈥檙e legally entitled. Moving special education oversight out of the Department of Education, she wrote in an op-ed for Fox News, will reduce red tape and open opportunities.
McMahon may have heard parents, many advocates said Tuesday, but she didn鈥檛 listen.
