The Short Version....
Why does this matter?
Federal and state funding of special education programs is lacking. The Federal IDEA plan is now fully funded but state aid is still behind, so in the meantime public schools will struggle with their budgets. All students benefit from fully funded programs in our schools - not just the one group the funds are marked for.
Want to help make positive change?
Contact your legislator in support of Bill SR25 which aims to fully fund extraordinary aid.
Our Goal:
Our goal is to advocate on all levels for our schools to be fairly funded. Advocating for improvements to state special education aid is one way we can get the needs of all of the children in Little Silver Schools met at the high level we have come expect.
