The Frederick County, Maryland, school board will hear recommendations Wednesday for how to improve special education programs from a task force created in the wake of a settlement with the Department of Justice over accusations of discrimination against students with disabilities.
Federal investigators found Frederick County Public Schools improperly restrained and secluded 125 students with disabilities more than 7,250 times in just three years.
The Blue Ribbon Task Force spent hours over the summer discussing recommendations for behavioral intervention for special programs. The task force is comprised of 11 FCPS staff members and 12 parents and other community members.
