Special Education Town Hall: Chicago OCT.19

as shared from Access Living, we will update info as available....

Dear Access Living friends and allies,
 
SAVE THE DATE!
 
On October 19, Access Living will be the site of a Special Education Town Hall. In conjunction with our partners Equip for Equality, the Family Support Network, the Family Resource Center on Disability and the Illinois Lifespan Project of the Arc, we want to offer families of CPS students with disabilities an opportunity to come and let us know what is going on with their child’s education.
 
Given the many changes in CPS this year, we want to be sure that families have an opportunity to air concerns so that we can all try to find the best possible solutions for students with disabilities.
 
Remember, there are about 46,000 students with disabilities in CPS. Each one deserves a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).
 
Further details will be coming soon so keep your eyes peeled! To ensure that you receive a copy of the final details, please email Rod Estvan at restvan@accessliving.org.
