Next Tuesday, January 3 , at 7 pm in the Ira Allen Board room, 150 Colchester Ave, the Burlington School District Board Diversity and Equity Committee is meeting. A major portion of the meeting will be devoted to hearing about special education in the Burlington School District -- the goal is to go beyond the usual focus on costs to better understand the what, why and how of special education, and to share with the Board and the community how the Burlington schools are creating more equitable, inclusive ways of serving all our children. This in-depth presentation about how the District serves children who need additional support is a first for the District. There will also be chance for public comment, and Board members would welcome hearing your experiences and thoughts.
