Some of the reasons that parents
rejected charters as placements were that «parents of
students with disabilities may be more risk - averse,» «parents of
students with disabilities may be able to use IEP process to get services from the district,» «transportation poses a particular barrier for
students with disabilities,» «lower charter special education rates may reflect use of effective strategies to prevent or remediate common
learning challenges,» and «district special education rates may reflect over-identification of
students with disabilities.»
