Thursday, April 14th, 10:00AM (EST)

Every family deserves choice, including families of students with disabilities. Charter schools can make small changes in their regular practices that provide greater access for students with disabilities. This session will share concrete strategies that charter authorizers and their partners have created as well as materials and tools that will help school leaders remove obstacles to enrollment and services. Learn how to review your school website, review examples of model language for websites and enrollment forms, explore training materials that ensure that your school staff know how to discuss their school’s compliance and services appropriately. The presenters will discuss lessons learned and the approaches their states are making to ensure equitable access for all students.
