The 2014 report for the Interagency Collaborative Team was released, and as predicted, more Delaware students are being sent out of state to residential treatment centers. 144 children were sent to either day schools or residential centers, in Delaware and other states. These aren’t all 144 new cases, but the trend is growing, up from 90 cases in 2011.
These are students with disabilities who are unable to function both at school and at home. Many agencies, as you can see in the below document, are involved in these cases. The final report was written by Maryann Mieczkowski, the Director of the Exceptional Children Resources Group at the Delaware Department of Education. I will be writing much more about this, but I wanted to get this report out there.
