This week, students, families, educators, and special education leaders came together in Washington, D.C., with one clear mission: advocating for students with disabilities and the families who support them. The East San Gabriel Valley SELPA was proud to be represented by our Chair and Parent Representative, Tavia L. Lawson, from the East San Gabriel Valley SELPA Community Advisory Committee. Tavia joined the delegation on Capitol Hill to speak on behalf of families and share the perspective of parents navigating special education services. Tavia also shared her personal story regarding her son, along with the experiences of other families, highlighting the importance of what it looks like when funding translates into the supports students need to learn, participate with their peers, and experience community. Representatives from the Coalition for Adequate Funding for Special Education (CAFSE), SELPA Administrators of California, and the California School Boards Association (CSBA) met with lawmakers to advocate for key legislation supporting students with disabilities: Full IDEA Funding: Supporting H.R. 2598 and S. 1277 to ensure special education programs receive the federal resources promised to them. Education in One System: Supporting H.R. 10232 and S. 5046 to keep the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) anchored within the U.S. Department of Education. The conversation around funding is ultimately about students and families — and what those resources make possible in a child’s everyday life. We are grateful to Tavia L. Lawson for representing the East San Gabriel Valley SELPA Community Advisory Committee, sharing her family’s experience, and bringing the voices of families to Capitol Hill. #FullFundingIndividualsWithDisabilitiesEducationAct #IDEA #CAFSE #SELPAAdministratorsOfCalifornia #StudentsAndFamily
