Abstract
In 2020, millions of students, including students with disabilities, transitioned to remote learning due to the COVID pandemic. In this article, we link key elements of special education law and policy to the challenges faced by schools and suggest implications for educational leaders who continue to support students during the pandemic and beyond. Due to the requirements contained in the ongoing recommendations advanced by the Biden administration for the safe reopening of elementary and secondary schools, we call for a rethinking of how to adhere to such guidelines on behalf of students with disabilities, including those requiring significant supports. Suggestions for school leaders and future research and considerations related to the safe return to school and provision of special educational supports are offered.
