8. Bill 17 Appropriate Educational Programming<br />
As you are aware in May of <strong>2003</strong>, Bill 17 - The Public Schools<br />
Amendment Act (Appropriate Educational Programming) was given first<br />
reading but the spring election interrupted its passage. This delayed our<br />
progress toward putting in legislation the entitlement we believe all<br />
students with special needs have, but it did not stop our work toward this<br />
goal.<br />
During the coming months we hope to re-introduce this important piece of<br />
legislation and upon it's successful passage we will consult with families,<br />
educators and communities to develop regulations respecting appropriate<br />
educational programming.
