Why DCPS?
I am a proud Washingtonian and believe firmly in free and appropriate public education. Even with the need for improvements, DCPS is the most accountable educational space that supports the educational rights of children with disabilities.
Why am I excited to be a member of the Chancellor’s Parent Cabinet?
I am excited to be a member of the Chancellor’s Parent Cabinet because I fully support the focus on social emotional learning. As a parent advocate for children with disabilities, I have a unique perspective on SEL and how it can motivate inclusion.
Issues I care about most as a parent:
My priorities are: (1) improved special education services, (2) promote inclusion, both academically and through sports and other activities, (3) more intentional collaborations between families and schools to create more emotionally intelligent children.
