PTO SPECIAL EDUCATION REPRESENTATIVES -

Betsy Kilmartin and Natasha Tomai (Lantier):

We are here to support the Royle community and to be active members of the CDSP Special Education Subcommittee. To support the school community, we along with Assistant Principal, (add name), will act as a resource to parents with children navigating special education. Along with the executive board of the PTO, we help examine opportunities for inclusion and provide support for parents of children with special needs. As a member of the Special Education Subcommittee, we will help to identify any district-level issues that may need to be escalated to CDSP, administration, and/or the Board of Education as guided by CDSP’s mission statement.

Our committee goals are as follows:

• Provide monthly input to PTO Chairs, Ms.Torre and special education assistant principal (name) regarding ongoing special education issues within the district.
