More than 30 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act became law, many schools remain inaccessible to students with disabilities. Now, federal officials are calling for change.
The U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Education recently released a webinar detailing recommendations for school districts to make their facilities more accessible.
The move comes in response to a Government Accountability Office report issued almost four years ago, which found that the majority of public school districts were not physically accessible to students with disabilities.
