The bottom line is this: The proposed regulations force parents to either submit to the school's decision on a student's continued eligibility for Special Ed services or expose themselves to a lengthy and expensive litigious process, way beyond the means of most parents. This is a blatent attempt by the state to limit any participation by parents and should be rejected soundly. It's a sad day in the Commonwealth when parents are taken out of the decision making process for their own children. This is a slippery slope and one shivers to think where such regressive thinking can lead in the future.
