HB 2621 passed the House today 51-0-8-1 making it easier for students with disabilities in unincorporated areas and group homes to access much needed education and services. Thank you @MatthewGress and @BrianGarciaAZ

Yesterday, SB1754 passed the AZ State Senate. This bill improves transparency of the special education complaint outcomes and reinforces student privacy protections. Thanks to @realmarkfinchem and the Senate Education Committee for believing in this bill. azleg.gov/legtext/57leg/…

Students identified with a disability are no more likely to achieve literacy benchmarks today than they were in 1998. Letting more students in hasn’t addressed the core problem: too many students are being left behind. @CRPE_edu crpe.org/unlocking-pote…
