POST FALLS — A new career technical public charter school that was dinged for special education violations is correcting those errors and working to strengthen relationships with its families.
“We’ve realized, the population that we serve, we’re going to get more special education students,” Elevate Academy Special Education Director Stephanie Linder said Thursday. “We’ve learned. Those are growing pains. Like any other school would tell you, there’s things that we can do better. Learning from mistakes and growing, that’s what it’s about.”
