I have to say, that if they've actually gotten rid of that portion of the information, it is still available at other advocacy sites. Most of us that have spent any time doing anything with IDEA or 504 probably have the ability to find that information even if DeVos eliminates it from the Dept of Ed.
Though, if they are providing a link to the actual statute, then .... well.... there is still technically a way they are giving you the information.
I would just wonder if they think that providing a link to the actual statute will be a deterrent ..... and if that is part of what they are trying to do. Again I would say that most people have the ability to find the information other places, even simplified if they can't wade through the other.
Of course, one would hope that those having to do anything truly with IDEA or 504, like those in Special Ed offices in school districts, would be helpful to parents looking for information and direct them to the Dept of Ed site, along with other advocacy sites that give them good explanations.
I actually think that within the district that we are in, even at the worst of times that we went through, the people in the Special Ed department were always the best, most informed, helpful and advocacy minded people..... even to their detriment (it really appeared like the district was trying to break that department).
