This week marks 50 years of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)! As we kick off this year of celebration, we’ll be highlighting this monumental law and the countless ways it’s helped students with disabilities benefit from educational programs that meet their needs.
When it became law on July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act set forth rights & protections for millions of people across our country with disabilities – including our nation’s students. Today, we celebrate those continuing rights & protections as we mark #ADA35.
Today we're launching Georgia's Student Bill of Rights, which outlines children's fundamental rights to a well-rounded, excellent education in our state's public schools.
