Grandparents Support HB 704
Meeting the unique needs of students with special needs is critical not only for them but also for other students in our public schools. As a grandmother of three — one of whom ahs developmental disabilities, one of whom is gifted but with some unique issues, and one who functions well in a regular classroom — I recognize the importance of this legislation.
– Barbara Smith, grandparent
