Parents are fed up with special education system flaws which deprive NYC schools of millions in funding for services
Parents, lawmakers, and advocates criticize New York City's Department of Education for systemic issues in special education services, resulting in $431 million in unclaimed Medicaid reimbursements due to documentation failures and reliance on a flawed data tracking system. The audit highlights problems with missing forms for therapy sessions and ongoing issues with the Special Education Student Information System (SEVIS), which has faced criticism since 2011.
