Special Education News

As we close out the year, we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their continued dedication to furthering the advancement of our students with disabilities. As you can see from the chart, we have had many successes with even more opportunities for inclusion. I hope that you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing everyone in August.

Sincerely,

Laura Hess

Executive Director, Special Education, PhD
