Parent Testimonial
‘’I was having issues with transferring my son to another school district, especially regarding the program that was being offered. My SFA wrote a very compelling letter that left no doubt in the school board’s mind that I knew my rights. She called to talk to the officers as well. Within24 hours, what the schoolboard said was impossible was sorted.’’ Oluchi
