🚨 Nearly all personnel at OSEP have been terminated, dismantling vital federal support for students with disabilities. CEC Ohio joins @CECMembership in calling on Congress to reverse these cuts and protect IDEA. A message from our president… #4SpecialEducation

Federal vs. State Role in Special Education @CECMembership #4specialeducation

CEC Ohio stands with @CECMembership in opposing the dismantling of OSEP. This action threatens IDEA oversight and the right to a Free Appropriate Public Education for children with disabilities. Federal leadership in special education matters.

Children with disabilities deserve strong oversight and support. Staff cuts to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) threaten the implementation of IDEA and the rights it protects. 📢 Urge Congress to restore OSEP immediately. #4SpecialEducation exceptionalchildren.org/lac?vvsrc=/Cam…
