Parents of children with disabilities worry as Education Department shrinks

Parents of children with disabilities are expressing deep concern as the Education Department continues to downsize, with nearly half of its workforce laid off and 95 percent currently furloughed. This reduction raises alarms about the future of disability services and the accountability mechanisms that are crucial for ensuring support for these children. The situation is alarming as it directly impacts the resources and assistance available to families who rely on these services, highlighting a growing gap in support for vulnerable populations.
