Article Title: Systemic Issues of Administration Regarding Students with Disabilities
by Michael W. Riley

Abstract:
The author conducted a literature review to explore the extent of current themes in educational research relevant to systemic management and administration of schools specifically related to students with disabilities. A single database was accessed using broad search terms to allow for an ample thematic representation. The author asks three questions: a) What are key systemic issues of school administration of students with disabilities reflected in the current literature; b) How are legislation and policy related to students with disabilities being interpreted and applied in States, districts and schools; and c) is there evidence of uniformity in interpreting policies and legislation to students with disabilities among States, districts and schools. An abundance of themes was revealed, yet prominence was evident in the areas of including students with disabilities and academic assessment. This review of literature will provide researchers, practitioners, policy makers and others interested in the schooling of students with disabilities an overview of the major themes involving schooling of students with disabilities addressed in current research.
