Disabled Idaho Students Face Accessibility Issues
Despite federal law, disabled students in Idaho lack access to basic facilities such as playgrounds, lunchrooms, classes, and bathrooms.
A notable example is an elementary school in southwest Boise, where a 3-year-old boy in a wheelchair was unable to join his classmates during recess due to loose woodchips on the playground.
The boy was relegated to watching his classmates play as a staff member stood with him, with no accessible swings, textured panels, or blocks available for him to play with.
A historic $2 billion funding package is expected to have little impact on addressing these accessibility issues, leaving school districts unable to make necessary fixes.
