Disabled Idaho Students Face Limited Access to School Facilities
Despite federal law, disabled students in Idaho are unable to access playgrounds, lunchrooms, classes, and bathrooms due to inadequate infrastructure.
A notable example is an elementary school in southwest Boise, Idaho, where a 3-year-old boy in a wheelchair was unable to join his classmates during recess on the playground due to loose woodchips and a lack of accessible equipment.
The boy was relegated to watching his classmates play as a staff member stood with him, and often spent recess inside his classroom.
A historic $2 billion funding allocation is expected to have minimal impact on addressing these issues, as school districts remain unable to make necessary fixes.
