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.
