Amazing CVES & PUSD Reopening 20-21 by Jill Halsey

1. When will the guidebook for Special Education come out? How can we make a decision without this information? We have a limited window to submit our commitment form and review all information in the guidebook. We would need time to think about the information and figure out how it applies for our child. How would we address areas and ask questions before submitting our commitment form. How is this possible?
-I am working closely with our SPED Department to encourage our SPED team to share information ASAP!
