The Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
Coalition was formed in 1999 by seventeen organizations that advocate
on behalf of individual children with disabilities and their families
with the New York City Board of Education, the New York State
Education Department, and the United States Department of Education to
enforce the requirement of federal and New York law that every child
be educated in his/her LRE. The Coalition seeks to insure that,
whenever appropriate, students with disabilities are provided with the
supports, services, and accommodations they need to progress in the
general education curriculum in general education classes in their
neighborhood schools. Coalition staff research and report on LRE
issues and implementation, maintain an interactive website and conduct
workshops with parents and community groups.
