JLCAR 10814 letter by Susan OConnor Rochester School Board
We have shared other posts about the flaws with Ed 306. The posts about comprehensive psychological services and competency-based education are available for your reference.
There is very little time left to contact JLCAR about the Ed 306 revisions. They will decide whether or not to accept the BOE’s changes on January 17th. Please contact them today.
