What is Parents as Partners?
Parents as Partners were formed 11 years ago by the Director of Special Education and parents of children with disabilities. The intent of the group is to:

  • Provide all parents the opportunity to meet with Dr. Hartseil and give him information from a parent’s perspective.

  • Provide feedback on current operations so that necessary changes can be identified and made.

  • Assist in designing and implementing procedures that would help parents better understand the special education process and thus better the educational approach for their child(ren).

  • Design training opportunities for parents and staff on topics related to the education of students with disabilities.

  • Act as a resource/advocate for other parents. Coach/Mentor other parents who are unsure of the special education process or what is expected from them in meetings. This group has served as support for these parents and provided them with information.
