Abstract
Intradistrict parental choice programs are increasingly prevalent in the American educational landscape. How those programs include students with disabilities while maintaining compliance with federal special education statutes has received little attention This article addresses that issue. It provides a thorough legal analysis of the issues and examines the successes and failures of five major urban districts' attempts to achieve meaningful choice.Keywords
