Reflection:
I would like to work with Jared, Ayari and Arturo to assist in their transitions. Jared would benefit
on any apprenticeship programs and Ayari and Arturo with certificate programs. Id like to work
with Phyllis to provide this to them after spring break.
All three high schools in the Village are on board to host a DOR Open House in late February to
provide information to our junior and senior families for everyone with an IEP. Question of
whether students will feel singled out if they come to this in the middle of the day (a la the black
students lunch last year). Need to raise this maybe better in the afternoon or evening?
