Lisa , I think I would agree with you here, so long as you are telling me that such a committee meets and assesses the potential for ALL students, and not just students with disabilities or other students whom they think cannot meet the challenge for some reason. So long as all students undergo the same scrutiny, I'm all for it. But if the committee is only called together to discuss how to defend a decision to exclude someone, I'm not so enthusiastic.
