I am a high school dual certified general ed/special ed teacher. The past two years, I have been assigned an inclusion class in which I serve as both the general and special ed teacher. The class is usually made up of 16/students with 10 to 11 of them with IEPs stating the need for an in-class support teacher. All of the other academic classes for the students with IEPs have in-class support teachers.

Does anyone have thoughts on the legality of this? I have been told that since the class is kept so small, that it is allowed.

Thanks
