Stop the proposed cuts in funding for the Language-based Learning Disability Program at Graham & Parks Elementary School

Why is this important?

Our children, Abraham, Angel, and Kai, are 3 of the children with dyslexia who attend the Language-based Learning Disability Program at Graham and Parks school, which is about to be cut in half, removing 1 of 2 teachers. Children in this program need more resources. Eliminating this position will make it harder for students to receive the support they need to catch up to their peers and to be included with their peers as they prepare to go to the upper school. Eliminating this position will make it difficult for children who have yet to be identified who need this program to access these resources.
