02.20.2018 | The 74 Million | To Kim Sweet, executive director of the nonprofit Advocates for Children of New York, the transition gives de Blasio an opportunity to elevate the needs of disabled students. \u201cIn my experience, chancellors tend not to focus on special education in their first term, if they get to it at all,\u201d she said. \u201dIt would be great to see a chancellor who makes education of students with disabilities a top priority from the outset.\u201d<\/p>

Advocates said that many of the issues Fari\u00f1a faced on special education predated her tenure or are nationwide problems, such as a shortage of qualified special ed teachers.
