Re: Finding resources - Dee

[Guest guest]

Okay Amy,

I went there and subscribed to the following:

Com Hearings

HB-1 Implementation

NCLB

Discipline_Code of Conduct

Research

PEIMS

Are any of the others some that I should subscribe to?

After thinking about this for the last 10 ys (people kept asking me to do

this) I have decided that I am going to try to become an advocate for all

our kids. I would like to stay kinda' in the area that I'll be living in

for next school year. If I DO HAVE TO charge it will be for gas money

only. I've already signed up for some internet classes and have downloaded

everything I have been able to find so far to help me. My real hinderance

is my memory. I have to keep a 3 ring binder of everything printed up so as

to try to jog what I need. I may end up feeling like this is more than I

can handle but at least I'm going to try.

Thank you again for all the help.

Dee C
