.@nickmelvoin echoed parent concerns that many kids with disabilities are still not getting services in person and that LAUSD has not made clear COVID testing/PEE accommodations for kids w/ disabilities. "I want to make sure we’re welcoming students with disabilities back."

[LisaMoskoSpEdUP @mosko_adv]

As of today, March 4, LAUSD is offering in person services for students with (dis)abilities! LA County kids are legally entitled to and authorized by LACDPH to receive in person services. Call your school for details, or call the LAUSD special education hotline! 213.241.6701

SB 237 clearly places literacy for all students as a top priority of a more equitable education system. Join me in taking action to support a universal screening for risk of dyslexia! https://t.co/R6TAEH4Y9w

What @nickmelvoin said! Why aren’t more leaders in LAUSD fighting for our most vulnerable learners???

[Nick Melvoin @nickmelvoin]

Nearly a year into this, parents—and kids—deserve more than political theater. They deserve to know that every public official is working hard to support them and prioritizing a safe return to campus for families who need that option, starting with our highest need students.

Loads of kids on campus today at Kester Ave. elementary doing a shoot for Apple TV. So it’s unsafe to have kids w/ disabilities on ⁦@LASchools⁩ campuses for vital services & education, but it’s safe to have them working there? ⁦@lapublichealth⁩ ⁦#openschools

Rivera says LAUSD should have done more for her son. Others feel the same. Their complaints reached the U.S. DOE's Office for Civil Rights, which opened investigations to uncover whether the district failed to serve disabled students during the pandemic. https://t.co/UNndZ46Xh9

Such a sad day for students with (dis)abilities in LAUSD. Thank you to all the parents who spoke up and to ⁦@MilbankLaw⁩ ⁦@KidAlliance⁩ ⁦@LearningRights⁩ for leading on this case! https://t.co/PIaKN4tD3X

Groups File Suit to Compel LAUSD to Open Doors to Students With Disabilities — Speak Up https://t.co/281JL4ftR9

We can go to the mall and do our holiday shopping, but special needs kids can’t access crucial services? Time for LAUSD to comply with IDEA. #spedup

[Alliance for Children's Rights @KidAlliance]

Today @KidAlliance, Learning Rights Law Center, & @MilbankLaw filed suit in the CA Supreme Court to force @LASchools to comply w/ its most basic duty under the law: to ensure that students w/special needs receive the safe in-person support they require. https://t.co/mrrslOQvvo

[LisaMoskoSpEdUP @mosko_adv]

CA invested $5.3B to safely mitigate learning loss for special needs students during #COVID19 lockdowns. @LASchools needs to comply w/ fed + state law to help our most vulnerable students. Read the letter signed by @kidalliance + 29 orgs & demand action https://t.co/OAwO7t2xbj

[LisaMoskoSpEdUP @mosko_adv]

Fewer LAUSD students are proficient in basic literacy skills this year, @AlisonLASchools reported. Kids with disabilities dropped from 23% to 10% proficient. LAUSD could be teaching these kids on campus under @lapublichealth rules but has chosen not to. @CAGovernor @TonyThurmond

[LisaMoskoSpEdUP @mosko_adv]

If @LASchools doesn’t act now to provide in-person IEPs and instruction for kids w/ special needs, they will be left behind. We’re joining @kidalliance & 29 other partners to demand immediate action be taken on behalf of these students. Read + take action https://t.co/OAwO7t2xbj

@SpeakUpParents SpEd Task Force has partnered with @CISLosAngeles @SpecialNeedsLA @FamsInSchools @CalSCDD to issue a survey to LAUSD parents of kids with special needs to see how they’re being supported by schools during COVID-19. Please spread the word! https://t.co/0nWS05Zntc

“It’s a positive step," said Speak UP's @mosko_adv. “We encourage the district to explore all avenues to safely meet the needs of students with disabilities and English Learners,” Mosko said. “These vulnerable kids cannot be left behind.”https://t.co/rNiRkQbuYB via @ladailynews
