The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is preparing to review and revise the Section 504 regulations. The Section 504 regulations have not been revised since they were issued in 1977 - before many of you were born. The current regulations do not directly address many of the disability discrimination issues we face today. As OCR begins the process of amending the Section 504 regulations, they are asking the public - YOU - for your experiences and suggestions to help them answer this question:"How can OCR strengthen and protect the rights of children with disabilities?"We share ideas about how you can help in "How You Can Help Protect the Rights of Children with Disabilities" at https://www.wrightslaw.com/info/sec.504.ocr.regs.htm ...

You probably know that most public schools stopped teaching kids to write (and spell) years ago. The result? Only 24% of our kids are proficient in writing. Pete and I spend most of our lives writing books and articles for Wrightslaw. The failure to teach kids to communicate by writing is a tragic loss. If you want to teach your child or your students to write, this Webinar may help. I registered for it tonight. “Science of Writing: Accelerate Literacy Development via Writing” on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 @ 2:00 p.m. (CT)https://voyagersopris.com/webinar-series/2022/… ...
