April 11th at 7:30 pm
School attendance and disciplinary issues are increasing in North Dakota. Children and youth are struggling, and families and caregivers are struggling to help children get to and succeed in school. This session is designed to teach you about school attendance laws, child find requirements in special education, services and supports that are available to families and youth, and we will be joined by a youth who has lived experience to tell her story. We will also give some numbers to back up the idea that more of our children, youth, and families are struggling in North Dakota. You're not alone, and we're here to help!
