Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Charter schools must conform to all federal laws and regulations including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A charter school is prohibited by law from discriminating in admissions and must accept every student who applies or hold a lottery if there are more applicants than the school can accommodate.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hi Crystal, Welcome to the Wichita Falls area. I'm a music therapist in town and was wondering if anyone has informed you of the Autism Support group that meets monthly. They would be a great resource for you regarding services and support. Email me offlist if you want the contact information. I'd be happy to pass it on to you.

I read that Charter Schools cannot discriminate based on disability, does anyone know the laws on this? We were thinking of enrolling our children in one here in Wichita Falls, Bright Ideas, and it would be great if the twins could stay together (one with Autism and one without).
