Ellen mentions the over-identification of boys in special education, or the
under-identification of girls. We've known about this for years and have
been discussing it for years. As an elementary principal Louise, do you do
anything in particular to not miss assisting and identifying girls for
special education services?

Does anyone else have anything to say about what they're doing to close the
identification gap or do you know anything others are doing to close the
gap
since the early 90's or before when we first starting noticing this
disparity?
