On Tuesday, CASE & @nasdse sent a letter to members of Congress requesting temporary and targeted flexibilities as school districts and state agencies work to implement IDEA during the #COVID19 pandemic. Read the letter at https://bit.ly/LetsBeFlexible #WeKeepLeading
Our Executive Director, @PhyllisWolfram noted, "As the nation navigates the #COVID19 pandemic, parents & families of students w/disabilities have collaborated w/ school districts & state education agencies across the country to ensure every child is provided FAPE. #WeKeepLeading
We've encouraged our membership to collaborate at every turn on our webinars:

3/27/20 - https://bit.ly/3aimi8x
4/3/20 - https://bit.ly/2VdjdSJ
And we fully believe in the power of working with parents together as partners. #WeKeepLeading

Yet, sometimes more flexibility is needed:
76% of people on a webinar told us they had evals that were overdue because of the pandemic.
78% of people told us they worked in a district that wouldn't meet state performance indicators.

Let's be clear about something:
The members of CASE are fierce & ardent supporters of the IDEA, the Rehabilitation Act and individuals with disabilities. Period. None of us would be doing this work with students and their families if we didn't truly believe in it. #WeKeepLeading
