PTSA Special Needs Group Liaisons
Each campus in LWSD has at least one PTSA Special Needs Liaison. The liaison(s) keeps the families of that school informed of the PTSA Special Needs Group's upcoming monthly meetings and district updates on issues affecting families who have special needs children. The liaison(s) can often answer a family's questions regarding special education at their school.
