Special Education Parents Statements at the Public Hearing on the Schools Budget: PART 4
|
The Special Education Parent Advisory Committee addressed the Board of Education with two statements on Thursday, at the board’s pubic hearing on the 2017-2018 education budget:
FIRST STATEMENT
Good evening we are Courtney Darby and Tricia Bresnahan, co-chairs of the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee, SEPAC, and Kelly Dupont, Linda Straubel and Wendy Hopper, SEPAC representatives. We would like to thank Shirley Klein, Scott McCarthy and Dr. Brenner and other school administrators for working collaboratively with our committee to hear the concerns of all Darien parents – and to help all students learn effectively. We would also like to thank the many educators and administrators who work tirelessly and effectively to help our students achieve their potential. We are relaying the concerns and input we have received from many parents in the district. Composite Students
In order to get a true sense of challenges kids face but protect student privacy, we will start with three composite students who share similarities with many students in our district but are not one student in particular.
