Rally to support Kentuckys special-needs children
When: Wednesday, February 7, 2007 at 11 a.m. (EST)
Where: Capitol Rotunda in Frankfort

Parents of special-needs children in Kentucky need more educational options.

Fortunate parents in other states have access to scholarships and choices that enable them to provide the education and services their special-needs children require.

Why dont Kentuckys families have the same opportunities? Currently, the absence of options forces parents to hire lawyers, participate in lengthy and adversarial mediation processes and wade through mountains of red tape to get the help their kids need.

For this reason, a few courageous lawmakers support a change in the states policy during the 2007 session of the Kentucky General Assembly that offers the parents of Kentuckys 109,000 special-needs children more and better options. Read the supporting documentation here.

However, powerful forces, including the Kentucky Education Association (KEA) and others are determined to deny Kentucky parents especially those who have special-needs children from providing their children with a better education and a brighter future.

THIS RALLY IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR KENTUCKY PARENTS TO TELL THEIR LEGISLATORS HOW STRONGLY THEY SUPPORT POLICIES THAT PUT OUR STATES NEEDIEST CHILDREN FIRST.
