Dear Liz: I am a retired special education teacher who receives a government pension.

It consulted extensively on the policy design, "weighing the pros and cons" of possible exemptions for small faith schools, international schools and children with special education needs.

Rebecca said the school district isolated her son from his peers for months, with only special education teachers and limited faculty for contact.

She is now is a special education teacher for the Tulare County Office of Education.

Almost half of those exclusions were for students with special education needs or disabilities.
