I am here to express my opposition to the proposed regulations
Governor Kaine has made his position very clear. Unless there is some incredibly persuasive explanation why the regulations have to be changed to diminish the role of parent's involvement in key educational decisions, he says we're going back to the drawing board. We need to go back to the drawing board. The impact of these proposed regulations will diminish decades of hard work that has established FAPE for students with disabilities. The current regulations are superior to the proposed regulations and do not require the wholesale revisions that is being proposed by the VDOE. I urge you to reject the proposed regulations in its entirety.
Examples of some of the major issues include:
