About this listen

In this final episode of the 2024–2025 school year, Jeffrey Lee is joined by Lynn Krominga, Assistant Director of Special Education at the Paul Bunyan Education Cooperative, to unpack one of the most foundational and often misunderstood questions in our field: What is special education?

Together, they explore:

  • What qualifies as special education and what doesn’t

  • The role and purpose of related services in schools

  • How teams determine when a student may no longer need special education

  • What supports remain available when academic struggles persist

Whether you're a teacher, case manager, related service provider, or administrator, this conversation offers clarity and practical reflection on how we serve students and support teams.

Thanks for listening this school year. We’ll be back in the fall with more conversations to inform and inspire your special education practice.
