What does the Zero Reject principle ensure in public schools?

  1. All children receive advanced placement

  2. Children with disabilities are excluded from specific programs

  3. All children are educated, regardless of their disabilities

  4. Every student has access to extracurricular activities

The correct answer is: All children are educated, regardless of their disabilities

The Zero Reject principle ensures that all children, regardless of their disabilities, are entitled to a free and appropriate public education. This principle is a foundational element of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and prohibits public schools from denying educational services to any child with a disability. The intent behind this principle is to ensure inclusivity and access to education, enabling all students, including those with disabilities, to benefit from educational opportunities. This framework promotes the understanding that schools must accept and educate all children, which reinforces the importance of individualized support and accommodations for those with disabilities. Through the Zero Reject principle, schools are encouraged to identify and serve students with special needs, ensuring they are not excluded from the educational environment due to their disabilities.
