Which High Schools are including students with Down syndrome respectfully into General Education classrooms?

Where are the best High Schools for students with Down syndrome Included nicely? What kind of High School is everyone happy with? Public or Private schools? Homeschooling? Is the McKay or PLSA Scholarship Funds being used instead? (PLSA-Personal Learning Scholarship Account)

What is the current trend for students with Down syndrome  for an inclusive High School experience? 

I am looking ahead and don't see much positive inclusive Public High Schools around where I live, we may have to relocate. 💔 We live in South Florida, the Fort Lauderdale area and inclusion is a long drawn out ugly fight here in Broward County Public Schools! Wish inclusion was the norm, but it's not here.

High School parents....need to hear what's the real deal going on out there across the Country and here in Florida.
💛💙💛
Need to hear from High School families on how is inclusion is really working out, especially with the new rule of the Standard Diploma for students with disabilities.

Florida Teacher's Union Continues Fight Against School Choice Low Income Scholarships

WASTING MONEY IS WHAT I SEE. 

Public Tax Dollars should absolutely be used for a Free Appropriate Education aka FAPE! If that means at a Private School then everyone should be asking WHY are Students going to Private Schools?

We are all TAX PAYERS! - If my Local Public School District doesn't want / refuses to Academically Educate my child because the District Admins, Principals & Teachers all think it's still AOK in 2015, to DISCRIMINATE & SEGREGATE (SECLUDE & RESTRAIN) so many ESE Students into often times Non-Academic ESE ONLY Classrooms, then there goes a large population of students NOT receiving FAPE!

The Teachers Unions & Districts today seem to only care about protecting their own, the teachers, not the students it seems anymore.

To automatically place students into ESE ONLY classrooms, without Camera's and to see that the Districts continue to rehire or shift disciplined bad teachers to another school or into another district, is shameful. That puts more & more Students (ESE especially) at risk for Abuse and/or worst to go YEARS without an Academic Education!!

ALL Students ~ EVERYONE are entitled to FAPE!

Stop wasting your union money with fighting this battle and maybe focus on making sure there are good (great, quality, wonderful, caring, flexible, happy, certified, etc.) teachers in ALL Classrooms!

Protect our Children's Right to A Free Public Education for All Students.
