The executive director Jordan is sketchy.
It's concerning that he is the executive director of The Arc of California and he is so unknowledgeable about special education. In a recent Arc video, he said that "private charter schools" are not required to adhere to special education laws. Well, the FACT is that every single charter school in America is a public school and is fully legally required to adhere to all federal special education laws, including the primary law IDEA.
It's difficult to trust the information this organization puts out with Jordan at the helm. He doesn't seem competent enough to run the organization.
However, if one knows a bit about Jordan's history, particularly about a few things that happened around the time he first became the executive director of California Arc, like his odd employment situation with another organization, then perhaps one wouldn't be surprised by his false comments.
I think this organization went down hill when Tony left as executive director and Jordan came in.
