Education

Learn about Extended School Year and how you can request Extended School Year for your child with an Individualized Education Program or IEP.

At the beginning of the year, DRC hosted the Education Equity Summit which brought together several federal and state officers and public policy thought leaders to discuss education equity for the most marginalized students: African American, Indigenous, Latinx students with disabilities.

This training will help you learn how to navigate compensatory education and learning recovery services if your child with a disability has been impacted by COVID-19 school closures or distance learning.

The California Department of Education “CDE” has recently ordered LAUSD to provide assessments, IEP meetings, and/or compensatory education to LAUSD students whose special education has been affected by COVID-19.

Learn about the California Department of Education’s recent decision requiring the Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) to complete outstanding special education assessments during COVID-19, SCUSD’s plan to complete outstanding special education assessments, and advocacy tips for families.
