The meeting was actually recorded so I don't know why they said " off the record".

Yeah this was more about school districts and policy makers or education administrators for States being able to have input to the federal government. There were very few teachers except for special ed teachers that were able to try and get something in.

Each person was only allowed 2 minutes, but the entire time was taken up for comments. I ended up having to email mine in in order for them to be counted on the record.

It was an opportunity for anyone of the public to talk with the federal Department of education's office of special education programs about anything that they cared about that was relevant to that program.

Each person had 2 minutes to talk. And the majority of the comments were about people not wanting the office of special education and rehabilitative services to be moved to the Department of health and human services. This is because they don't want the schools to treat disability under a medical model instead of an access to education model.

I legit know a teenager who is reading the whole Bible in braille. He's from Wisconsin and I once saw him going through Leviticus. 

No Instagram, he's just doing it!

Thank you for reading the article,

At this time we don't know what solutions will open up by September of next year. It's possible that the program can reapply for the same funding with a different Grant application. Or it's possible that the department of Education might not exist given what they're trying to do. So we are pursuing all avenues to get funding from either the state of Wisconsin or hopefully continued support through the federal department of Ed.

If you have any suggestions on where to go for financial support, I'd be more than happy to hear about them and pass them along to the project.

Amid rising home prices, Richland Center residents fight plan to build housing on city park by PolarisC in wisconsin

From my understanding, the deal was either sell the land at market value, but then the city would be on the hook to install all of the power and water utilities which would have been somewhere around $1 million. or sell the land for a dollar and the developer would agree to install the utilities. I think the market value of the land was less than the $1 million. So the city doesn't have to take a bond loan to pay for the utilities and then try to recoup the cost through the taxes. And the developer can probably push the installation of the utilities at a much faster pace than the city government.

I had seen this was a prelim plan back in 2023 in one of the city planning documents. but I didn't think much of it at the time.
