ABC News story - private school spec ed choice not available - what then?

[Guest guest]

For a one-hour ABC news network special on education, we are hearing

from many parents who are frustrated with the " one-size-fits-all "

aspect of public education. We are interested to hear from families

who have children with disabilities to hear their views on this

subject. We have already spoken to families in Florida who are

benefitting from the MacKay scholarships--scholarships that allow

children with disabilities a choice of schools. But for the majority

of families such choice does not exist...so what happens to them?

We are on a tight deadline for this story. Please contact producer

Deborah Colloton directly at DColloton@... or home office (515)

288-4611. Thank you.
