Separate school placements persist for students with extensive support needs (ESN) despite longstanding federal mandates for all students with disabilities to be educated in the least restrictive environment. This study extends research on separate school placement for students with ESN to explore the potential impact of locale and charter school policy by determining (1) the percentage of separate schools in states across locales, (2) whether there is a relationship between the percentages of separate schools in each locale and separate school placement rates, and (3) how the number and location of separate special education charter schools change by state over time. Results showed varying proportions of separate schools among each locale in states with different placement rates, a significant moderate difference between the percentage of separate schools in suburban locales and overall separate school placement rate, and few separate special education charter schools. Implications for research and practice are highlighted.

为具有广泛支持需求的学生提供单独的学校安置以及地点和特许学校入学的潜在影响

尽管联邦长期以来要求所有残疾学生在限制最少的环境中接受教育，但对于有广泛支持需求（ESN）的学生来说，单独的学校安置仍然存在。本研究扩展了对具有 ESN 的学生分立学校安置的研究，通过确定 (1) 各地区分立学校的百分比，(2) 各州分立学校的百分比之间是否存在关系，探讨地区和特许学校政策的潜在影响每个地区的单独学校和单独的学校安置率，以及 (3) 单独的特殊教育特许学校的数量和位置如何随时间的推移而变化。结果显示，在不同安置率的州中，每个地区的独立学校比例不同，郊区地区的独立学校比例与总体独立学校安置率之间存在显着的中等差异，并且很少有独立的特殊教育特许学校。强调了对研究和实践的影响。
