Studies the
record of three companies (Sabis International, Edison Project,
and Alternative Public Schools) that manage Massachusetts for-profit
charter schools in serving students with disabilities. The profit
motive compels even resource-heavy charter schools to limit required
services, use inappropriate disciplinary procedures, segregate disabled
kids, and/or counsel them out. (MLH)
