So... local control it is. Remember that ISBE no longer being target means that local school may become one. Careful strategizing and understanding of risks and data will be important. Relaxed rules is welcome - continued vigilance and awareness will keep schools safe.

Educators: when we stereotype young teachers for being wet behind the ears or experienced teachers for being out of touch or principals for not remembering what it’s like to teach or superintendents for being oblivious to the front line, we are sabotaging our own profession.

I really don’t agree with putting ‘make eye contact’ as targets in IEPs and EHCPs for autistic children. It’s unrealistic & potentially harmful. #autism #send
