SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Requesting certain state and local agencies of the Commonwealth to inform parents and the public of certain preventable health and social conditions to avoid the need for costly special education programs and services for children. Requests certain state agencies to work collaboratively and cooperatively and with their local counterparts to inform students, parents, educators, constituents of the respective agencies, and the public regarding preventable health and social factors that converge to influence the identification, referral, and placement of African-American and other minority children in special education programs. State and local agencies are requested to use existing mechanisms and resources to disseminate such information. This resolution is a recommendation of the Joint Subcommittee Studying the Overrepresentation of African-American Students in Special Education Programs.
