Special Education

We're continuing to explore what school will look like in the fall. All this week, we've talked with teachers and educators, but what about parents? A lot is uncertain right now and parents are weighing options. Host Arun Rath speaks with WGBH Radio's Tori Bedford for her bi-weekly segment “The Check-In” where she talks with two parents who are considering their options for the fall. Then, we've heard about many vulnerable student communities this week and today’s episode only adds to the list. Students with disabilities will have challenges in any learning model their school district chooses for them. Arun speaks with Dr. Mary Anne Morris, Executive Director of Special Education for the Springfield Public Schools, about what these particular students may face next month.
