Starting the conversation. And unfortunately, sometimes that does mean the POC has to be involved to get it started. However, you have to have leadership in place that is down for the cause.

Or come work at TBWA\WorkdHealth where inclusivity is our top most important initiative.

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.
