Don’t miss the launch of our movement to #reframethedebate on education!
We’ll be officially kicking off our grassroots movement to reframe the debate from “where do we cut costs on yesterday’s special ed blueprint” to, “how can we foster new blueprints that reduce the special ed needs that are so costly to support?” Don’t miss this kick off event!
