The school board has officially committed to moving our students out of the trailers and into classrooms within their home schools. Seeing this change become reality reminds me of how much we can achieve when we commit to the dignity of our children. I will continue to observe the relocation …

We, the parents of Advocates for Lebanon Special Education, petition the Lebanon R-3 School Board to remove the special education students from the trailers on the Jr. High campus and place them inside classrooms in their respective elementary schools. We make this petition for the following reasons:
1. The students in these trailers are secluded from their "typical" peers. They are unable to learn the appropriate behaviors that elementary children are supposed to possess. The only behaviors they have to learn are those of other disabled students.
2. Typical students in the elementary schools are not able to learn how to interact with students who have disabilities. In essence, they are being taught to stay away from children who are different.
3. These trailers pose as health and safety issues, especially for children who have special needs.
By signing this petition, we agree that these trailers are not the appropriate educational setting for these children with special needs. We also agree that these students should be removed from the trailers and placed within their respective schools.

Completely agree. My child goes to school there and it is not fair that they are segregated in trailers. It is 2016 for crying out loud.
This is rediculous. Those kids deserve to be in the actual building with everyone else. Stop hiding them away.
Those trailers are freezing in the winter and way to hot in the spring. How are they supposed to learn in those conditions??? Move them back inside.
Fix this now lebanon. All kids need to be together.
So wrong. Social skills are learned by being around others not by being locked in a trailer all day long.
