I have a child who has special needs. She was helped by some awesome and patient teachers. The problem now is that many of these teachers are BURNT out. They need you to pass this bill. By passing this bill, all special needs students will get the help that they need. Also all school districts will receive equitable money. Please sign this bill to help the future of not only our special needs students but also the future of Pennsylvania.
