US Commission on Civil Rights: Minorities in Special Education

A Briefing Before the United States Commission on Civil Rights
Held in Washington, DC, December 3, 2007

On December 3, 2007, either experts briefed members of the US Commission on Civil Rights on whether blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Limited English Proficient (LEP) students are misplaced in special education programs more often as a proportion of the general education student population, than their white, Asian, or non-LEP peers; and the nature, extent, and possible causes of any misplacement. In addition, the panelists were asked to give their views on what the federal government, schools, and parents could do to address the issue.
