I recently got the following from Lisa Casper about a Michigan Alliance for Families workshop in Munising:
The MAF workshop called Serving on Special Education Committees registration deadline is this Friday
5/8. In order to host the workshops, I need to have a minimum number
registered. I’ve only met that number in one of the three workshops
that I am offering around the W. UP next week.
The
presenter, Jessie Morton is a wealth of information. She has had 20+
years of personal experience serving on special education committees
from the local to the state level. She has tips for both parents
serving and the chairs running the meetings. Serving on special
education committees is a way that parents can have a voice in special
education systems at both a local and state level. Parent who are
concerned about time, need not worry about the commitment level as each
ISD or RESA has a Parent Advisory Committee for Special Education and
any parent is welcome to attend whether or not they are officially on
the committee.
Come
to the workshop and find out more! Free pizza will be served. I have
childcare for the Houghton workshop. Gas cards are available for
parents who are driving long distances. I hope to see you there.
