From the Desk of Milton Public Schools Superintendent Mary Gormley:

Our Special Education department is undergoing a program review this fall. The district has hired Public Consulting Group (PCG) to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of special education programs, staffing, organizational structure, and procedures. This assessment will review practices throughout the district for students from preschool to age twenty-two. As part of the process, PCG will be conducting focus groups and observations. The focus groups will include the SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Council), staff, school committee members, as well as other parents/guardians of students with special needs. Focus groups will be held on October 6th, 7th, and 8th during the day with some evening groups. If you a parent/guardian of a student on an IEP and would like to participate in a focus group, please email me at [email protected] by Wednesday, September 30th. Names will be selected randomly from those who express interest.

Please note: There will be no school on Wednesday, September 23rd in observance of Yom Kippur.
