Gaining knowledge and information is part of the challenge. There is a lot of information to think about. We don’t get manuals when we sign up our kids for school. School doesn’t always turn out to be as expected and we need to know what our options for advocacy are.
This is our opportunity to pass along what we have learned to all of you. To share.
Tickets are now on sale. $45.00. For those who need financial assistance to attend, please email secretary@bcedaccess.com. Don’t let the fee to be a barrier for people to attend.
Looking forward to sharing and discussing with you all these very important issues in education.
