States like Massachusetts and Connecticut are updating their special education programs to allow families to weigh in on students’ Individualized Education Plans (IEPs.)
Educators and special education advocates hope this will improve the special education planning process, leading to more high-quality individual education program documents for students.
Osman explores all sides of an issue
I am writing to express my strong support for the election of Franny Osman to the town of Acton Select Board. I have had the pleasure of working with Franny on a variety of local issues and have always been impressed with her desire to explore all sides of an issue so as to come to sensible and balanced solution to the issue at hand.
As a person who believes strongly in the protection of our local open spaces, woodlands and farms, I particularly appreciate Franny’s support for open space preservation and environmental protection. Franny played a key role in the preservation of the Wright Hill property in West Acton and the Piper Lane property in South Acton. I also greatly appreciate Franny’s support for increasing both low- and moderate-income housing opportunities in Acton, and her recognition that land protection and fair housing are not mutually exclusive issues, but rather equally important components of a healthy community.
