Also, this is a first of its kind BOE Subcommittee for SPED and was a welcome addition! We hope the communication about these meetings will go out to all but if not, we commit to posting them here.

We appreciate the parent voices on the CPS BOE Sped Advisory committee! They are making it very clear that we need stakeholder feedback, specifically families in the search for the new ODLSS Chief. We wish there had been better promotion of the community listening sessions.

Due to some technical glitches, we were unable to complete our officer elections at our Oct meeting. Please join us this upcoming Thursday, Nov 9 to participate in this important process!! Link to register: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
