Committee approves adding two special-education parent representatives
Summary
The policy committee approved a motion to add two special-education parent representatives; members described the additions as necessary and routine and passed the motion by voice vote.
The Manitowoc School District Policy Committee approved adding two special-education parent representatives to the committee’s advisory roster.
A board member moved to approve adding the two special-education parents and a second was recorded; committee members described the change as necessary and said the district required the parent representation to address the needs associated with incoming transfer students.
Speakers thanked district teachers and staff for their work addressing “unexpected transfer-ins” and noted the appointments are intended to provide timely family and program representation. A committee member said the additions “are things we need and you can’t not do it,” and the motion carried by voice vote with no roll-call tally provided.
The committee did not detail the names of the parents at the meeting. Staff said they would follow up with any administrative steps needed to formalize the appointments.
