North Carolina School Options for Students with Disabilities

Join ECAC as we explain the various school options available in NC (traditional public schools, public charter schools, private schools and homeschooling.) We will discuss obligations under IDEA, the NC Compulsory Attendance Law, and NC home school requirements. NCSEAA will join the conversation to share information about 3 different programs available through the state: Opportunity Scholarship, Disabilities Grant and the Education Savings Account.
