Last night we had a successful Public Meeting on Deaf Education at the Sanderson Community Center. About 90 people were in attendance, including several parents of deaf children. Quite a few from the general Deaf community were present too, including two members from the UAD board. The lecture hall was almost full!
With assistance from Cheralyn Creer, member of the blind community and mother of a blind child, and Minnie Mae Wilding-Diaz, mother of three Deaf children, Jodi Kinner (mother of two Deaf children) did a wonderful job in presenting the issues with the current draft of the Utah Code that regulates USDB. There are two main concerns that were brought up and we need to make sure we give our opinions to the Utah State Office of Education during the Input Meeting on July 31 (from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. in the Lecture Hall of the Sanderson Community Center).
Look up the information at this website: -http://utahdeafeducation.blogspot.com/ (Editor's note: this blog site). Leave messages (Editor's note: which means comments on this blog site) so that we continue to keep up our discussion about the new draft of the law and make sure USOE hears our voice (hands)!
Thanks Deaf Community!
