Stop paying bureaucrats to screw disabled kids
The Kentucky Department of Education and their enablers never miss an opportunity to hold public education back if the improvement would mean giving more freedom of choice to parents and students.
Their "we know better than parents" knee-jerking may have finally gone too far.
Rep. Stan Lee has seen his bill to benefits students with disabilities spiked in the House Education committee the last two years (here and here) by the same guy who nearly wet himself to get a little school choice in Speaker Jody Richards' district.
A new study on special needs scholarships could be the basis for a nice, juicy lawsuit on behalf of students all over the state.

Schools are now having special sessions for academically gifted children before the CATS test to help those children achieve higher CATS test scores.
Yet, though required under IDEA; the same schools don't provide special sessions for children with IEP's.
Hmmmmmm. AND interestingly enough; under Rose v. Council (the seminal KERA case) education is a fundamental right. This is area for somebody to go all the way to the United States Supreme Court on.
