D.C. charter school faces allegations of violating disability education laws
The SEED School of Washington, D.C., faces accusations of violating laws protecting students with disabilities. A recent audit revealed the school suspended students without required meetings to assess behavior related to disabilities or incomplete individualized education programs (IEPs). The city's charter school board issued a "notice of concern" following the findings. This situation highlights issues at one of D.C.'s oldest charter schools regarding compliance with local and federal education regulations. The SEED School is a unique charter boarding campus in the District. The allegations raise questions about its adherence to legal requirements for supporting students with disabilities.
