I also cannot fathom why EPISD would choose to cut sped teachers considering their district gets in trouble often for not following Federal guidelines with regards to Special Education! It's also not surprising that they are having funding issues when they try to push students with special needs out of special education and put them under Section 504 of the American with Disabilities Act!! Slim funding under 504! However, don't need a SPED teacher under 504!! Hmmm I see a correlation here!!
