Under A provision of the coronavirus relief package that passed at the end of March, Betsy DeVos had until Monday to recmmmend any additional waivers of federal education law to Congress. Already, states have been able to apply for waivers to skip annual tests and change how they spend certain federal education dollars. She issues no waivers. NO STATE has been given the authority to NOT educate special education individuals in the same manner they would regular education individuals or to make the same allowances, as per the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).https://edsource.org/2020/education-and-coronavirus-whats-the-lat
