Parents As Partners

   Dr. Charles Hartseil, Director of Special Education, formed Parents As Partners in the Fall of 1994. Dr. Hartseil's goal was to develop a venue for ongoing collaboration and sharing between parents and educational staff.  He was also interested in receiving feedback from parents in order to improve services for students. As a result, Parents As Partners is made up of parents of children with special education needs and a few school staff. This group has taken on many topics that impact the district.

   Parents As Partners has collaborated with Project Choices, to offer a variety of workshops on various topics, such as communication, vocational supports and transition issues.  Some other past projects have included conducting Awareness Fairs in some of the Unit 5 elementary schools, creating topical newsletters and disseminating a variety of publications to support parents through all aspects of special education services.  This group meets once a month, and welcomes anyone within the Unit 5 School District to join.

   Please continue to check this location for updated information on meetings, and scheduled trainings.
