Concerns Over Furlough of Federal Special Education Staff
Education advocates in Maine are worried about the Trump administration's decision to furlough nearly all support staff in the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).
Carrie Woodcock, executive director at the Maine Parent Federation, explained that OSEP's primary role is to ensure children with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education.
"They were providing technical assistance and corrective action planning for the state of Maine to not only be able to keep our federal funding, but also to move us towards compliance,"
said Woodcock, highlighting the importance of OSEP's oversight and support for special education students.
The Maine Parent Federation is concerned that without this support, special education students may not receive the help they need.
