COPAA member Heather Eckner shares this column about the potential impact of dismantling the US Department of Education, noting, “The U.S. Department of Education plays a crucial role in ensuring that all students, regardless of background or ability, have access to a quality education. For students with disabilities, the Department has been instrumental in creating programs, policies, and frameworks that ensure equitable educational opportunities. For students with disabilities, the consequences could be significant and detrimental to their ability to succeed in school and beyond.”
