Maine DOE Proposes To Decrease Special Education Protections

The Maine Department of Education ("DOE") is proposing changes to their special education guidelines.   The Maine DOE claims they are troubled by the variation in special education identification and explain that Maine currently provides more special education protections than required by federal law.  Officials admit that these changes are motivated, at least in part, by budgetary concerns.
