meeting with NJ DOE Commissioners

[Guest guest]

FYI

Renay Zamloot has set up a meeting with NJ DOE Commissioner Lucille Davy

and Barbara Gantwerk for January 12 at 2:30 in Trenton to discuss

parents' concerns about the proposed changes to the State Code. This

meeting is being convened as a compromise because Renay, acting on

behalf of SPAN and the Special Ed Leadership Council, had been told by a

NJ DOE representative that State Board of Ed members would not meet with

groups of parents even though they had met with lobbyists for teachers,

principals, school boards, etc.

I wondered if you would be interested in attending the meeting or know

of parent group leaders who might be good spokespeople about parental

concerns. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks!
