your opinion about these proposed changes before its too late!

Hi,

Found this on the slaw blog. Is that true there are no comments to these

proposed revisions?

OK VA! It's time to get on board!

Public Comment Period in Progress on the revision of VA Special Education

Regulations. Enter a comment now!

I just checked the Virginia Regulatory Town Hall Online. I can't believe that no

public comments have been submitted.

Does this mean VA parents and advocates are in agreement with the proposed

revisions to the regulations and the erosion of parental rights?

Is this what legislators will think?

Perhaps few people know of this forum and the ease of submitting a comment.
