During public comment, Amanda Warren, a parent of a student in an NTDSE satellite program at Edison, asked the Board about budget timing and potential effects of federal funding changes on special education services. Warren said she was attending three separate board meetings to follow the issue and asked specifically "what impact any federal funding changes would have on special education services." President Steve Dembo said the Board does not respond to questions during meetings but assured her someone would follow up.
The superintendent and board did not provide a substantive response during the meeting; administrators and NTDSE governance timing were noted in future meeting announcements (NTDSE meeting scheduled March 19). Warren's inquiry was recorded and the administration indicated it would follow up after the meeting.
