<p><i><span style="font-family:&quot;Lato&quot;,sans-serif;color:black">Today, the U.S. Department of Education has done the unthinkable. Less than a year after the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), the department
 undermined the federal and court-ordered promise to protect the educational rights of students and adults with disabilities. The department\u2019s transfer of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), including oversight of IDEA and the
 Vocational Rehabilitation Act, to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services means services for students and adults with disabilities will be housed at an agency whose mission does not prioritize education. Now, children and adults with disabilities
 will be, at best, the third, fourth, or even fifth priority for an agency that has no experience or expertise in ensuring that schools live up to the promise of a free appropriate public education for students with disabilities. Separating federal special
 education and vocational rehabilitation programs from the other federal K-12 and higher education programs disconnects students with disabilities from the opportunities afforded to their non-disabled peers. At a time when the academic achievement and employment
 of students and adults with disabilities significantly lags behind that of others, this is simply wrong.&nbsp;</span></i><span style="font-family:&quot;Lato&quot;,sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

 and individuals with disabilities that the promise our nation has made for over 50 years will be kept.</span></i><span style="font-family:&quot;Lato&quot;,sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
