Judge ends federal oversight of special education in New Orleans schools
A US District Judge has ended federal oversight of special education in New Orleans schools after more than a decade. The decision comes after the court found that the state and school district had addressed systemic issues and were in substantial compliance with federal special education laws.
A US District Judge has terminated federal oversight of special education in New Orleans schools. The oversight began in 2015 after a class-action lawsuit alleged that charter schools discriminated against special education students. The court found that the state and school district had addressed systemic issues and were in substantial compliance with federal laws. The decision was made despite concerns from parents and the Southern Poverty Law Center. The state and district will continue to work with parents to ensure compliance with federal law. The termination of federal oversight is a significant development in the city's education system.
