Advisory council sets March 25 full meeting agenda and plans Capitol outreach table
Summary
The executive committee scheduled the March 25 full council meeting (9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.) and discussed agenda items including training recommendations for the State Department of Education, transition standards, student representative preparation, membership vacancies and a Capitol lobby table tentatively set for April 22; staff were assigned follow-up tasks.
The Connecticut State Advisory Council for Special Education’s executive committee used its March 11 meeting to finalize key logistics for upcoming meetings and outreach.
Chair Missy Wrigley reviewed the March 25 full council meeting agenda, scheduled for 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. at the Lyceum Resource Conference Center. Proposed items include recommendations on training needs for the council to send to the State Department of Education, review and discussion of public school transition program standards, and ways to make resources more meaningful to parents. Wrigley said she will add suggested items from a letter received from Tom to the full meeting agenda.
Old-business planning included replacing a cancelled legislative breakfast with a staffed table in the lobby of the legislative office building at the State Capitol; staff and volunteers discussed targeting April 22 for the table and agreed staff would check whether there is a cost and whether food or donated refreshments are appropriate. "We were targeting... April 22 right after our in person meeting," a staff member said, and members discussed having a small donation-based treat or a bowl of candy at the table.
The committee also reviewed internal operations: members agreed to finalize a policy and procedure operations manual before the end of the council year and discussed the nominating committee’s role in presenting a slate of officers; Catherine was asked to contact Brian Smith, the nominating committee chair, to coordinate recruitment. The membership committee reported a high number of vacancies and a robust pool of applications; volunteers will meet to review applications and propose candidates.
The executive committee assigned follow-up tasks: staff will circulate the legislative materials and meeting links, Missy Wrigley will compile the policy and procedure draft, and members will prepare guiding questions for the student representative to help them participate at the full council meeting.
A motion to adjourn was made and the committee closed the meeting.
