Next Meeting 5/12/2020 and Link to letter-Federal IDEA funding

NEXT MEETING 5/12 @ 10:00 AM via ZOOM with Director of STUDENT SERVICES

We are expecting to have an official virtual meeting on Tuesday, May 12th at 10am (zoom will be posted on website). We will have a Q&A session with Richard Whitehead at the meeting and will also be accepting board nominations since we are voting in our board for the coming year in June. Please submit self nominations for board positions as well as any questions you would like Richard to answer in advance to waylandsepac@gmail.com

Current board members will automatically be nominated unless we hear otherwise

Lots of people have asked Richard Whitehead if we are going to get any relief at the federal level relative to IDEA, he forwarded this information to SEPAC:

Senator Hassan from New Hampshire is spearheading the effort to include additional IDEA funding in the next relief package. The below linked letter went to Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer on 5/5/2020. If you are politically inclined, or know someone who is, and want to lobby local, state and federal politicians, this would be a worthwhile cause.
