We have teachers to be mentors, via e-mail or telephone. Parents are able to choose the pace and structure of lessons. IDEA only steps in when support is requested through either certified teachers or Parent Advisory Councils to be formed in each region. Parents enrolling their children in IDEA must file learning plans for each student. Parents are also required to file regular progress reports.
Transcripts are available for students making the transition back to public education or to college.
If parents want public school courses such as music or arts to be part of an IDEA curriculum, Bloom said the option exists for part-time enrollment on base schools. IDEA Meetings are scheduled for the Kanto Plain Oct. 31 at Kinnick High School at 3 p.m. and Nov. 1 at Zama High School at 3 p.m.
