Question

Read the passage from a position statement by the National Council on Disability.

What is the council’s position? A. Parents are responsible for determining appropriate education of students. B. The National Council on Disability is responsible for determining appropriate education for students. C. School districts are responsible for determining appropriate education of students. D. Students are responsible for determining appropriate education for themselves.

Answer 2

Answer:

C. School districts are responsible for determining appropriate education of students.

Explanation:

The text makes it clear that the law governing the education of the disabled makes it unclear whether parents or school districts are responsible for determining the proper education of students with disabilities. Therefore, the National Council on Disability determines that the  school districts should take responsibility for this issue.

The excerpt from the text that makes this clear is: "  It is the position of the National Council on Disability that school districts, not parents, should have the burden of proof in issues about IEPs (individual education plans), placement, eligibility, and other matters related to an appropriate education."
