would you please answer a question for me?

[Guest guest]

Hello to all on my two favorite listservs!

Would you please email me privately to answer a question?

My school district has something called " Partnership for Different Learners,

PTO. " It is a district-wide, parent-teacher organization regarding special

education/special services/student services. District-wide meaning it's for

all students -- from young ones receiving early intervention services

through preschool, elementary, middle, high school and those receiving

services through age 26 in our district.

It doesn't have a large membership yet I believe we're lucky to have such an

organization.

My question...

Does your school district have such an organization?

Please send me your city and state with your answer. I'm thinking the

answers will be in 3 categories:

a. Yes, we have such a PTO in our district [whether or you're not you're

involved isn't part of the question but go ahead and share if you'd like].

b. I'm not sure. I've never heard of such a thing in our district.

c. No, we do not have a PTO dealing specifically with special education

issues in my district.

If you'd like the results of my survey, please let me know and I'll forward

it to you after I have some answers. I'm asking you to privately email me

so we don't clog up the listservs with lots of answers that others don't

care about.

Many thanks,

Beth,

Your very lucky to have such an organization. I've been to a couple

of their meetings in the past, Jo and I participated in

Partners In Policymaking together and that was how I learned of the

group. She is a wonderful leader and developed some very good

relationships with administrators as well. Lois, your new

President, also seems to be very committed and that's a great asset

to you all.

We in Utica did want to start a PAC for special education and the

Special Education Director didn't want it. We are still looking

into other options however.

Best wishes and keep us posted on the survey results.

Carolyn

Thanks a lot for responding Carolyn.

Thanks for explaining how you're affiliated with the GPParents group & PDL.

I wrongly assumed that you were a former resident of GP, like Bella [who's

also on those listservs]. Now I get it!

Take care,

Beth
