IEP, 504 Plan, and the Current State of the Department of Education Date: 3/21/2025

Hello everyone!

With so much uncertainty surrounding education and special education right now, I wanted to send out an extra newsletter this week to help keep us informed.

Special education law—or any law—is not my area of expertise, so I’m sharing information from a reputable source. I’ll include links so you can explore further and stay updated.

Since this situation is evolving quickly, I’m marking this newsletter with today’s date. Please keep this in mind if you are reading this newsletter at a later date. 

As always, I am grateful to have you here!

Noriko
