Parents and caregivers, we hear your concerns. 💛 TNSTEP is in close contact with fellow parent centers and disability advocates across the country to stay informed about the recent “reduction in force” at the Office of Special Education Programs, which poses real risks to the protections and supports that students with disabilities depend on. The guidance, accountability, technical assistance, and research functions that OSEP provides are critical to ensuring a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). See the Tennessee Department of Education’s statement in the comments.

Should you want to connect with Tennessee’s state and federal leaders to voice your concerns about the reduction in force at OSEP and its potential impact on IDEA, please see the contact information and options below.
