Reporter @zachschermele.bsky.social notes the CR would restore OSEP (special ed office) positions at US Dept of Ed.
But note: given Trump Admin’s political goal is eliminating ED and sending OSEP duties to (likely) HHS, question will be on follow-through.

I'm working on my next book (self-imposed deadline on a chapter) and writing about OSEP this coming week, but will hold this thought for a bit. But if I were at IU, or UT-Austin, or OSU, or wherever, I might poke around with some prose and see where it goes.

On it's 50th birthday, special ed law is fighting for its life. On Oct 10, the Department of Ed cut hundreds of positions from OSEP, which oversees implementation of the law & investigates complaints from students who’ve been denied needed services.

🚨 The Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) just fired most of its staff.
As a parent of a child with Down syndrome, I’m furious — and terrified for the families, schools, and kids who rely on these programs every single day. 1/5

Seeing a lot of local right wing Facebook groups lighting up with people upset about the OSEP layoffs. I've always said that special education is one of the most bipartisan issues in this country, and maybe that turns out to be right.

So saddened by the cuts at the Dept. of Ed. Gutting staff at OSEP will have ramifications beyond what most can comprehend. Grateful my child is no longer in the system but I hurt for the educators, advocates, parents, & especially students who will be further marginalized & sacrificed. Truly evil!

This is tragic. Every state has a Deafblind Project funded by the US Dept of Ed, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The Projects HAVE TO address the "transition" of children from birth to 3 services to early childhood Special Ed programs, and of teens from school-based to adult services.

OSEP(US DOE) is responsible for “leadership and financial support” for those with disabilities. To get rid of this echoes what the Third Reich did to people who were different.

A. Check your instagram msgs.
B. Lots of programs are applying for OSEP D grants right now. We won't know who gets funded until February. After that we will most likely be recruiting for fall 2025 (again).
