The snow is melting and spring is coming.
This week's post from the Newsletter and Publications Committee will be quick.
First, we hope that you took the time to have your voice heard with HB40. If not, it is NOT too late! HB 40 was first introduced last year and would allow students in Transition Programs to continue being served past their 22nd birthday. IAASE opposes this measure because:
It is an unfunded mandate and will cost approximately $20 million per year in state and local funds.
It exceeds the federal IDEA requirements.
Please let your Member of the House of Representatives know that you oppose this dangerous measure by sending a message through our action center at the link below.
Tell the House of Representatives to Oppose HB 40
NEWSLETTER & PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE
Co-Chairs:
Tarin Kendrick, Executive Director of Niles Township District for Special Education
Nicole Maxwell, Student Service Coordinator in the DeKalb CUSD
Previously this committee sent out quarterly newsletters. However, IAASE’s current focus (continuing with Dr. Rubenstein’s example) is to provide our members weekly, relevant information to keep them informed. The IAASE Counsel, Franczek, will provide information twice per month. Please be sure to use the Ask an Attorney feature if you have a burning question. Additionally, IAASE Board members will provide updates and we would also love to hear from our members, YOU. If you have any ideas that you would like to see on this blog or are a blogger and would like to share please reach out.
Have a great week!
