Special Education

This story is not unique to me. I am the father of a Special Education student, and, like many parents, my wife and I have struggled through meetings and programs trying to find the best educational path for our son.

These problems are real and result from the corruption of prior school district administrations and the strangling of public-school funding at the State level.
