It’s been a long while since I blogged…. for loyal readers, I do apologize for my absence.
The great news is that I’ve been hard at work–with much support from friends and colleagues– on an exciting project–writing a new law for special education! It’s current title is Education for All: Reaching High for Generation 2.
Its mascot is the giraffe–who always reaches high!
The project started back in January… at the cafe when I was talking to Dave and his teen-age son about the law. Dave inspired me to just do it. And so I did–with much help on the way–laying out the basic principles for a new law. It’s short and sweet, and….
…almost ready for prime time…. If you would like to learn more and how to get involved, please let me know. Email me at Miriam@schoollawpro.com.
Happy new school year and happy Generation 2 !
