CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2019-03-13 | 27 | ITEM 3-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, March 13, 2019, 6:30 PM I'm gathering, is that they moved the entire classroom of probably middle school kids in special education. But transitions are really difficult. And they're difficult for anyone, especially for children and children that have disabilities. It can be very difficult. As well as considering how to ready the new community to receive a classroom now of special education students. And did the teachers follow? Jenn Barrett: And maybe there's a statement that we can bring to the school board. Jennifer Roloff: And I think what we talked about earlier. Where we can interject, where the city can play, will also be part of the greater conversation, not necessarily this issue. Jenn Barrett: Right. And because you've been nominated by our commission to speak on behalf of our commission at the school board, there might be an ability for us to write a statement and have that said by you at one of their meetings. Jennifer Roloff: Okay, if you circulate something. Leslie Morrison: Yes. Jennifer Roloff: I can send some feedback and maybe just say enough. Jenn Barrett: I think it's something that we should also bring up with the City Council as well. Jennifer Roloff: Yes. Jenn Barrett: I think it's very important. Leslie Morrison: This article describes the children as some of them are non-verbal, some of them, it sounds like they have moderate to severe cognitive impairments. So significant sensory issues, all of which, those kinds of transitions would be something you'd want to plan more carefully. Jenn Barrett: What I'm wondering, are they getting special transportation now to this different location? Leslie Morrison: I suspect that their transportation followed, so they were transporting them to Lincoln and now they're transporting them to Wood. But the transition itself is Jenn Barrett: Is hard. Leslie Morrison: Hard. Jenn Barrett: Definitely. Okay, thank you so much for bringing that to our attention. Really important. So I will also bring that up with Laurie and see that we can do something prior to our next meeting, because our next meeting is so far away. 03/13/19 Page 27 of 28 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2019-03-13.pdf |
