Trivia Question of the Week


This Week's Trivia Question: 


The number of students with disabilities, ages 3-21, could jump by about 1 million students between 2021 and 2025 if the current rate of increase continues, according to federal data and an analysis by The Advocacy Institute. By comparison, it took about 20 years — from 1997 to 2017 — to add 1 million students eligible for services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Students with disabilities comprised about 15% of the total K-12 student population in 2022-23 school year. Based on this most current data, which IDEA disability category has shown the largest year-over-year increase, with a nearly 10% increase?

Food for Thought

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
