Special Education and Charter Schools

Issues relating to day-to-day special education operations can be a significant challenge when the delivery model of the charter school is nontraditional and the charter is faced with determining how best to deliver special education and stay true to the intent of its educational model.  This report articulates the issues for charter schools and special education.  The report discusses in the context of delivering education through the Montessori Method, but can be used for other nontraditional charter schools.
