Special Education Committee update 2/27/23
SKILLS AND TUTORING UPDATE
Please see this information from Principal Brady:
Since this is a transitional year, we are scheduling Skills classes when possible – when both the teacher and a critical mass of students are available. That is what we did last term as well. If the teacher is not available, or there are not enough students available to run a Skills class, we offer Tutoring instead.
We would like to add to the list of subcommittees we have created. It would be great to add Professional Development Research and “Lunch & Learn” events under our Education subcommittee; and create a new subcommittee for critical Fundraising.
Anyone interested, please let us know and we can begin organizing ASAP.
