Parents received a robocall confirming as much — their first word from the school on the visit. CHIME is a charter school that focuses on integrating students with special needs into academic and social life. Special education was a particularly weak point for DeVos during her confirmation hearing, which wasn’t lost on parents. “Trusting that she would understand all the minutiae and complexities of special education was really scary to me,” said CHIME parent Dawn Hamilton. When DeVos canceled, Hamilton was relieved, but also disappointed that “this was a missed opportunity to educate” DeVos.
