Advocates celebrate 'HEROes'

Excellence in Special Ed noted

During March, the ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Special Education Parent Advisory Council – SEPAC, for short – recognized 65 City School District of ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ employees as HEROes.

The HEROes were nominated for going above and beyond in their work on behalf of students with disabilities. 

All the HEROes received a certificate that includes an explanation of why they were nominated for HERO status, and each school has received a poster with the names of all of this year’s HEROes.

Congratulations to all of them! A list of who they are and where they do their work follows in alphabetical order:
