Shortened Days, Long Consequences

from SpEd-Splaining Hosted by Stefan Troutman

In J.N. v. Oregon Department of Education, families allege that students with disabilities across Oregon were routinely placed on shortened school days, losing critical instructional time. Even after Oregon passed new laws limiting the practice, the Ninth Circuit revived the case, signaling the issue isn’t settled.
