My district automatically provides transportation to any preschooler who has an IEP, even though it may not follow them into kindergarten. (Yvonne Morrison- Widefield)

3. Can you please discuss with the committee to review the 2018 TSD sessions? (Theresa M Anderson)

4. November presentation on “ Power Struggles” By Irene Hessner ( Affective Needs Teacher) in our district at Adams City Middle School for the “ Steps Program.
