School District Funding
As mandated by Public Law 94-142 (Education of All Handicapped Children Act), passed by Congress in 1975, public schools are required to assure a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to all children with disabilities. If you feel that this has not been provided for your child, you have a right to due process. Through an advocate working on your child’s behalf, through arbitration and/or through the court system, you can petition that your public school district provide that free, appropriate public education through a private school. School districts will sometimes provide partial or full funding of a private school education. However, this is a complicated and time-consuming process and is usually best implemented by an Educational Advocate.
If you are interested in pursuing this option, we can provide a list of Educational Advocates who may be able to help. Please contact us at (480) 391-3901.
