It has been a challenging year in special education: victim of suicide, several attempts, two losing home in a fire, on a DNR order, too medically fragile to attend school, homeless, teenage pregnancy, losing the baby, placed in foster care, severe autism, multiple transfers in and new placements, severe aggression, staff leaving profession, and not enough staff to meet needs.
I commend our incredible students, parents, and staff who have met this challenging year doing all they can. You display strength, perseverance, and passion to helping each student be successful in school and in life. I continually find our students with disabilities, their parents, and Medford School District staff to all be amazing.
