BIPOC family listening sessions scheduled

The Exceptional Student Services Unit wants to hear from you! Join us for virtual listening sessions to help us gain a better understanding of the needs of our Black, Indigenous and people of color parents/families of students with exceptionalities. Sessions will be held September through November.
