Some special ed programs not moving after all

After many phone calls and emails from parents, the Worcester School Committee received the following information via email late yesterday:

Questions have been raised recently about the possibility for shifts in the location of special education programs, specifically related to Burncoat HS, Doherty HS, Claremont, and Forest Grove. You may have received letters / phone calls from concerned parents. It is not unusual for services / programs to be evaluated and adjusted to improve outcomes for students. Initial plans for program moves, formulated in early winter, have been postponed due to relevant issues raised by parents as well as recent information provided in preliminary results of our special education audit. Dr. Rodrigues is developing some details to be published to school principals.

I have also been told that some of the results of the special ed audit will be presented at next Thursday's School Committee meeting.
