Good news from this article: "Sweeney said he will propose an additional $50 million in the state budget for fiscal year 2020 to go toward so-called extraordinary aid for special education students with the greatest needs." #NJ #SpecialEducation njspotlight.com/stories/19/0…
Three #NJ #SpecialEducation bills we're keeping our eye on: Senate bill 375 (payment of extraordinary SE costs). Senate bill 3219 (change to SPED funding methodology), and Senate bill 3759 (SPED training for ALJs). njspotlight.com/stories/19/0…
Good to see @USDEducation moving forward to ensure rights of students with disabilities, & especially black students, are protected. Unfortunate they required a little convincing from our friends at @COPAA

This article highlights an impressive team of mental health staff, but we encourage #NJ schools to think first about fully staffing your Child Study Teams, with a full-time School Social Worker, School Psychologist, and Learning Disability Teacher Consultant.

Excited to see this bill signed by #NJ's @GovMurphy that creates a pilot project to increase access to teaching for minority and disadvantaged males and to bring more teacher role models into underperforming schools! njspotlight.com/stories/19/0…
