They sold out days in advance at 250 and had a waiting list. PHP did a masterful job, no glitches, and many of the attendees had high scores on the Final Exam. There were some beautiful bell curves drawn and obvious mastery of the 5 key IDEA 2014 statutes, 1400, 1401, 1412, 1414, and 1415.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>The Morgan Case in Federal Court<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Prior to the conference some parents forwarded to me emails from their school district and a newspaper article about release of their child&#8217;s social security numbers because of the ongoing Morgan case in federal court.\u00a0 Fortunately, in prep for the program, I had already read all of the pleadings earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/blog\/morgan-hills-v-ca-doe\/\">Read more about the Morgan case here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Photo Fun!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Above is a photo of me with Joanna Jaeger and Loni Allen at the end of the day. With ageing, senility, and being beaten down too often, I have shrunk to 5.8&#8243; and, having done several Wrightslaw trainings for PHP and known both Joanna and Loni, I have watched the two statuesque blonde beauties grow taller and taller as I get shorter and shorter.<\/p>\n<p>For the first photo, I deliberately dropped lower so that the top of my head was at their shoulder height, most upsetting to them as they tried to lift me up. For the next photo, I stood at normal height and was still abt 4 to 6 inches too low. For the posted photo, I stood on my toes. As my attendees know, its not truth, but perception and presentation, so I fooled everyone with the posted photo.<\/p>\n<p>After the program a bunch of the PHP staff and I went to a Margarita Bar in Campbell and had a great fun evening. Many thanks to PHP.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Lasting Relationships<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Wrightslaw has developed a lasting relationship with PHP as we have with others around the country.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/store\/feta2.sm.store.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin-left: 8px; float: right;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wrightslaw.com\/bks\/feta2\/feta2.100.dpi500.jpg\" alt=\"Wrightslaw: From Emotions to Advocacy\" width=\"153\" height=\"199\" \/><\/a>Loni began doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.php.com\/support\/educational-advocacy-workshop\">FETA study groups<\/a> after the first edition of the FETA book was published in 2001.
