Granite Parents and Community Defending Special Education

Marlin Haws

members of my church attend Granite Schools.

Alina Colver

I have many kids around me and in my family the rely on the special education program! These are some of the most brilliant kids I have met in my life. They need extra love and attention to get through something as difficult as school. Special education has always been needed and will always be needed.

Mikayla Irving

As a special education teacher in Granite, we need all of the support that we can get. It is not fair to our students!!

Kelli Hansen

I have had children with 504s but I especially remember one year with another special needs kid who needed a para professional but didn’t have one. It made the whole classroom experience hard for my child. Once that student got the help she needed, my daughter was able to thrive. These cuts in budgets for special needs kids affect all our children

We need to be putting our kids first.

Michelle Ajeel

My child is special needs and the programs and teachers have helped him grow and to feel like he is included with others

Carrie Pappas

As a community, we have to do right by our children and provide them services they need!

Lacey Bollard

I work in Special Education and I see the needs of these sweet kids, they deserve better. Cutting things affects what they need.

Pamela Smith

I have 7 grandchildren who benefit from the special education programs.

Carly Ellis

I have two sons that are in the special education program.

Candace Mabey Little

Every single student matters.

Lauren Nelson

I can’t believe that we even have to create and sign this petition. Cutting funds for the most vulnerable children in our community is criminal. The educational system needs all the help we can get. Please please stop this madness and let’s support the teachers and students that are so crucial to our community

Diana Perez

My son is in special education and I believe all the kids who are in special education deserve the best education possible. They are the smartest most enthusiastic kids about learning

Mariya Orton

special education is important to me because it's a resource we use yearly.

Cristan Ellison

It is very much needed and should not be cut

Kristy Pappas

Funds are needed and warranted to continue to help serve and support the Special Needs students.

Alana Jonat

Every child deserves access to education. By not helping kids with special needs, other kids will also not get as much education and help as they should get.

Micah Lawrence

Every child needs adequate support

Jeni Mock

I’m speechless. I wonder how fast the error would be fixed if it was the superintendent’s salary? Would he be willing to accept a salary reduction due to an error? Special education is critical in our schools and this shouldn’t even be an issue that got to this point. Fix the error! Plan and simple!

Teri Evans

I feel we need to stop funding dual language classes and help kids who really need extra help .
