News for the South Central Region
During the summer of 2010, NH Connections redesigned the Regional Forum and follow up meetings to better assist School Districts and parents involved in promoting school/family partnerships in Special Education.
In the 2010 - 2011 school year, the South Central Region will have a forum in Manchester at West High School, 9 Notre Dame Avenue map on Wednesday, October 13 from at 5:30-PM. This forum will be followed up with three separate useful presentations in the school year driven from topics that are collaboratively developed in the forum. These may be held in different locations in the region. Please let Joe know if you would like to be involved in any way to help.

The Regional Support Network held a world cafe' forum on Parent Involvement in Special Education on January 28, 2010. The forum results identified three priority areas.
1. Collaborate together to build true partnerships.
2. Parents and teachers are partners, and they are available as a resource
for each other's involvement in the child’s education.
3. Two way communication is used among and between parents,
educators, school administrators, and others while addressing
effective communication skills.
