On March 24, 2022, U.S. Secretary of Education, Dr. Miguel A. Cardona, released a letter to educators. The letter includes sections on leveraging the individualized education program or Section 504 process to ensure schools have protections in place to protect in-person learning, continuing the use of layered prevention strategies to keep school communities safe, and ensuring students receive education and services in the least restrictive environment.
This letter addresses the needs of students with disabilities as we move into a new phase in our response to the pandemic.
This is an essential document that special education and school leaders should be aware of and consider as they prepare for students to return to in-person learning.
