OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. – Teachers and advocates are voicing concerns over the Osceola County school district’s changes to special education that went into effect at the beginning of the school year.
During a school board meeting on Tuesday, Osceola County Educators Association President Janet Moody warned about the consequences of the policy that consolidated ESE classrooms into hub schools and reintroduced some special needs students into general education classes.
“We cannot continue to bury our heads in the sand and pretend like the ESE changes are going to make our district better,” Moody said. “Our teachers are quitting. Our ESE support staff are quitting.”
