Lunch and Law:
Special Education Reform

In March 2014, DC Councilmember David Catania introduced a landmark, three-bill Special Education Reform legislation package.  Children’s Law Center worked closely with Councilmember Catania and education advocates in the community to develop the recommendations that informed this legislation. 

Join us for a special “Lunch and Law” to learn more about how the proposed legislation removes some of the biggest legal barriers that children with special needs face in getting a quality education, by ensuring that students receive services when they will have the most impact, parents are full partners in their children’s education, and schools offer high-quality special education instruction. 

This “Lunch and Law” will feature Senior Policy Attorney Elizabeth Tossell, who will discuss the legislation, and Senior Supervising Attorney Megan Dho, who will talk about the tremendous impact the reforms would make on individual students and families.  The program will be facilitated by Pro Bono Director Nancy Drane. 

To join the call, dial 605-562-3000 and use passcode 964021#.  No RSVP is required.
