There is a critical shortage in special ed. There has been for 30 years. People in DC don't care about special ed.

His student had to be rushed to the hospital. If they continue to gut special education that student could have died.

Tax the rich, because they don't care about our students.

The stream is not very effective tonight - I can hear all of the background audio of the technicians but the speaker audio is not clear. Also I can't seem to change the view in Zoom to display the slides.

Okay, I actually just got into the meeting. The Youtube link did not go to the meeting, if you are trying to view, you have to click the Zoom meeting link further down on the page

There are also printouts of the monitors from the 9/11 meeting. I couldn’t find the agenda or previous minutes on the website, this is a new group so maybe there isn’t a process for that yet.

Here’s a photo of tonight’s agenda

Made it out to the meeting - right now six members of the commission are already here. Since this is my first time covering this group I’ll do my best to identify everyone correctly as I learn their voices. Their seats are labeled with their names which is very helpful.
