SIDDC Education Committee Meeting
Nov 19 @ 10:00 am
The ARISE Coalition
Nov 19 @ 6:00 pm

The ARISE Coalition, a group of parents, advocates, educators and other key stakeholders who have been working together since 2008 to push for changes to improve day-to-day experiences and long-term outcomes for students with disabilities in New York City, has been seekingfeedback this fall from parents and caregiversabout their students’ experiences with special education in NYC public schools. Eager to hear directly from families about their students’ and family experiences, earlier this year, we shared a short survey in multiple languages that covered a range of issues from related services to transportation. Thanks to all who completed that survey. 

Now we’d like to hear more in a Speak Out for families.   We’re asking parents and students to join us to talk about the changes they would recommend to the city around special education to ensure all students with disabilities are supported. This conversation will be pivotalto helping build ARISE’s advocacy agenda for systemic change in 2025.
