| I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. First, I would like to thank all those individuals who have given their time to volunteer, work directly with Bill Doolittle and I on current initiatives, and/or volunteer to assist in future projects. I would also like to welcome the new members to our committee. In today’s world, being a parent is difficult, but being a parent of a special needs child/children and advocate is even more challenging yet so rewarding.
In our last meeting, we focused on the initiatives outlined in our action plan, as well as updates on legislative items. Since that time I, along with other Delaware PTA board members, have worked to establish strong relationships with outside stakeholders and build community partnerships to address the needs of children with disabilities in Delaware. As many of you are well aware, this school year has been exceptionally busy, not only with the “Need Intervention” classification for special education, but also our work on other task forces and organizations to improve academic outcomes for our children. |
