About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the termination of staff at the Office of Special Education Programs and its impact on students with disabilities.
In this episode of DiveIn , I sit down with Kuna Tavalin to discuss the termination of 95% of staff at the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). We explore the implications of this near-shuttering of OSEP amid the ongoing government shutdown, and what it means for students with disabilities nationwide. We also talk about what’s next — and what you can do to take action and help stop these cuts.
