ASDB Ruled Violated Special Ed Rights | Tucson News

Arizona’s top education officials just slapped a major ruling on the state’s school for the deaf and blind, saying they violated federal law by forcing blind and visually impaired students back into local districts that couldn’t meet their complex needs. The school’s blanket decision-making ignored the law’s core requirement: individualized, best-fit placements for every student. Now, a federal monitor’s overseeing the fix, with ASDB given until August 28th to reevaluate every case and offer real alternatives — from their new Oro Valley campus to private or residential programs. Families who fought for their kids’ rights are celebrating this win as a crucial step toward true educational equity for students with the most specialized needs.
