Public Expression 2nd Session(no speakers 1st session):

A parent complained about the moving of the music program in her disabled child's school to a non-handicapped accessible room.

My Take:
Congratulations to all the students honored this evening !!!
Accessibility should always be considered when there must be a change in the location of activities in a school building. NO CHILD should be left out because of their physical challenges.
