Parents' Alliance for Compliance in special Education:
Parent-2-Parent for Special Students (P2PSS) is a proud and active member of Parents' Alliance for Compliance in special Education (PACE).
PACE is a coalition of parent groups working to bring about positive systemic change and complaince to our public schools. PACE started out as just an IL coalition. The Parent-2-Parent for Special Students' Leaders in Wisconsin are working to organize a Wisconsin chapter of PACE.
If you or a group you know of are interested in this effort please contact: Eva Marie Roberts (608) 847-5051. Eva is also the P2PSS leader for Juneau and surrounding counties in Wisconsin.
PACE has started a new listserv through a yahoo group. All are free to join and build up our own special ed. community. It's a great way to locate other parents who share a common bond with your situation - ask those advocacy questions - or just vent! Follow the directions from the following link:

We Support Teachers

The National Association for the Prevention of Teacher Abuse (NAPTA) is for teachers who have been subjected to retaliation for speaking out.
Now some have said, "They seem very assesrtive!" Well, quite frankly, that is what happens when you are forced to leave the career you chose to help create a better tomorrow for our youth. You tend to get a little ticked off at the bureaucratic system that is failing our children and teachers. Justice delayed is Justice denied.
P2PSS members led a support campaign for just such a teacher, Cheryl Mix.
You can find her story along with other teacher stories on the NAPTA website. Either click the link to the left of this page pr copy and paste the following in your browser:
