On October 7th, the DC Council will vote on special education reform bills that, if passed, will lead to large scale positive changes in the way that families of DC students with special needs are supported, as well as in the way that their children are educated. Weinfeld Education Group supports the attached legislation and encourages you to show your support as well. 
         
        We need YOU to help ensure that the DC Council votes yes on these     bills Tuesday.  Please see the attached documents - an update/brief     synopsis of the legislation and a sample support letter to email or      mail to council members.

You can help in the following ways:

1. Attend the hearing on Oct 7, 10AM at the John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Room 500. And encourage others, especially parents to attend as well.

2. Call and/or email Councilmembers to urge them to support the bills AND ask your parents to do the same.Lawmakers listen to parents!Feel free to use the handy template attached to this email (and See Councilmember contact info below).

3. Tweet to your stakeholders about the bills using the hashtag #fixspecialed and retweet Twitter posts from the Children's Law Center.
