Do you mean for an individual student?  Go to the Department of Education website for the state/country you are inquiring about.  Their policies should be on their site.

I'm not sure exactly who you should go to, but you might try speaking with a local Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (link below).  They handle discrimination cases and that type of thing - if the school is denying your child services that he needs, then I'm pretty sure they can help you with this at no cost to you.  \n\nIf your child hasn't officially been diagnosed as special needs, however, the school is probably not obligated to offer extra services.  In any case, the teacher should be making modifications of her instruction to reach all students no matter what level they are performing at (research the term "differentiated instruction").\n\nOther possibilities (though I don't know much about using services from these entities so I may be wrong) might be a legal aid office or the attorney general's office.  \n\nI would highly recommend documenting every conversation you have had with teachers, administrators, etc., on this subject (you might even considering putting a voice recorder on your telephone, or carrying one with you when you speak in person - in most states this is legal as long as one person participating in the conversation is aware of it, but I'd recommend checking the laws for your state).  Also document the actions they've taken (firing the aide) and all the correspondence they send you (the letter about the teacher's credentials).  Documentation goes a long way in legal proceedings if your situation goes to that extreme - it will probably also give you some leverage at the IEP meeting if someone says something that you can disprove based on your detailed, accurate records. (Be sure to keep your records factual though, don't make assumptions about what you thought you saw or understood).\n\nI would also recommend going above the principal's head to the superintendent and asking to see a copy of the teacher's license/certification.  It should state whether or not the teacher has special ed credentials.\n\nBest of luck to you!

This is a good rule! If you go by the URL like: Dot Gov, Dot edu, or Dot org. These will be the most legitimate organizations. Dot edu, has a lot of school programs with "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND GRANTS".

This belongs in a different category. This does not relate to "special education."\n\nGood luck on finding those ribbons!  I agree you should try Goodwill and other second hand shops.

If I were you I'd look into the Equal Access Act.  In this act, school groups that are religious in nature and/or political in nature, can meet on school grounds AFTER school hours so long as there are non-curriculum groups (such as a chess club) that are also allowed to meet.\n\nThe rules for this are that you are in a public school, that there are non-curriculum related school groups (such as the chess club) and that you (as a religious group) do NOT have a faculty adviser.  Because of the separation of church and state, the school cannot provide you with materials or a teacher, but it MUST provide you (as a child of taxpayers) a place to meet if other groups are allowed to do so.\n\nSo, the simple rule is this: if you are in a public school, you can meet, but you must follow the rules of all other student groups.  You are different from other school groups because of your religious affiliation, however, and the school cannot provide you with an adviser (they can require that one be present (just to make sure there are no other school rules broken since you are still minors), but he or she cannot have anything to do with the group or how it is run.  You probably cannot be photographed in the yearbook, and probably cannot have all of the frills of a regular school group, but you should have access to the school facilities to meet.\n\nThis is what I would suggest you do: make friends with the Christian group in that you should NOT try to get them to disband if the school messes with you.  You are both in the same boat (or should be) and what rules apply to you should apply to them since you are both outside groups meeting on school property after school.  Look into the Equal Access Act and calmly ask for a meeting with the principal to go through it.  Explain that you want to figure out how you can best follow the rules of the school and also follow the rules of the Equal Access Act.  \n\nFor the most part, journalism teachers and advisers are great assistants when it comes to students' rights issues, so if you need help understanding the Act, talk to your yearbook or newspaper adviser or a Social Studies teacher.  Make sure if you ask a faculty member for help you establish that you are NOT asking for them to be your adviser, but you do need some help interpreting an Act.\n\nIn the end, most principals want to do the right thing and be fair to all groups (and follow the law), but they often have trouble with community pressure.  By being patient and non-threatening, you can help your school to understand what it MUST provide you whether or not it believes in what you believe.  The hardest part for you will likely be to establish that yes, you ARE a religious group, and therefore the Equal Access Act does apply to you.  This is because many people believe teens follow this type of religion as a way to get back at their parents.  But once you establish that you are a religious group, this should be easier.\n\nIF and only if being reasonable and calm and going through the act fails to convince your principal, contact the ACLU for a lawyer in your area.  Don't go directly to the lawyer as it's hard to work out a compromise if you bypass the principal (you want the principal to be your friend, not your enemy).

I am also looking for a teaching job.  What I have done is look within the county or city schools websites.  Things are usually listed under Human Resources, or the place you would go on their website to find a position and apply for it.\n\nGood luck!
