Tell Your Representatives to Support Equal Opportunities for Jewish Children with Special Needs
Every parent should have the right to choose the school that is best for their child.
And yet, a group of Jewish parents and schools have been forced to go to court to fight a California law that excludes religious schools from receiving special education funding to serve children with disabilities. In Loffman v. California Department of Education, a group of Orthodox Jewish parents want to send their children to Orthodox Jewish schools, however, they are unable to do so because politicians in California exclude all “sectarian” schools from participating in the State’s funding program.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law ensuring that all children with disabilities can receive an education that meets their unique needs, including in private schools - making California's stance not only unjust, but ILLEGAL.
