ACTION ALERT-- Blow the whistle on WESELPA  wrongdoing and speak up for children with disabilities 
Dear Friends,
 
Please support children with disabilities and their families by speaking up on their behalf.  You do not need to be in the WESELPA area to support our cause.

Please DM for email distribution list.
Suggested language (feel free to add your own details):
 
Dear School Board Members,
 
I wanted to express my disappointment in how your Superintendent voted on your behalf today at a meeting of the West End Special Education Local

Plan Area.  Your Superintendent voted to be a rubber stamp for the WESELPA Administration and ignored comments from many parents and students with disabilities.  Specifically, your Superintendent approved  a contract with the Department of Rehabilitation sight unseen.

The contract was not included in the agenda.  The DOR form required that your Superintendent “read” the agreement but that did not happen.  The WESELPA Administrator will sign forms swearing to DOR that the WESELPA Superintendents all read the contract when this is a false

statement.  This is improper and borders on fraud.  Additionally, your Superintendent also voted on legal contracts that will undoubtedly be used to sue children with disabilities to deny them needed services, without having the contracts but only a WESELPA prepared summary of

the contracts.  Some of these contracts contain clauses that allow law firms to hire private investigators to conduct what amounts to surveillance, paid for by your district.
Please ask your Superintendent not to be a rubber stamp for WESELPA  and to speak up for the families you

represent.
 
Sincerely,
Name
