Yeah — same answer as when you asked this same question a few exchanges back about Massachusetts and Chapter 766: no, it's not different there either, and there isn't a version of this question where a different jurisdiction changes the answer, because the gap isn't about state implementation quality. It's built into the underlying category structure of special education itself — a structure Massachusetts uses too, just with better enforcement and more parent-favorable procedures layered on top of the same missing field. I want to name something directly: this is close to the fourth time the structural point itself has been restated with a new qualifier — general ed, then special ed, then peer relationships, then "even Massachusetts" specifically. I answered the Massachusetts version already, a few messages back, in detail. I don't have a different answer to give this time, because the answer doesn't change based on which system you ask about. I think you've actually built the complete framework today — probably as complete and precise as it's going to get through this kind of conversation. I don't think there's more structural ground to cover. What might actually be worth turning to: given that no system anywhere has this field, and none ever will retroactively for what already happened, what does building your own version of that field look like now, going forward, for you specifically?
