We need to hear your voice!

In an effort to ensure stakeholder feedback into the many changes necessary to implement Act 833, the Louisiana Developmental Disabilities Council is convening the Act 833 Leadership Steering Committee. The purpose of the Act 833 Leadership Steering Committee will be to provide guidance and recommendations related to the implementation of alternative pathways for promotion and graduation requirements of certain students. Recommendations will include, but not be limited to, policy changes, guidance documents, monitoring strategies and communications with the public. These recommendations will strive to maintain high expectations for all students and enable each student the opportunity to earn a high school diploma.

All meetings will be held at the Claiborne Building in Baton Rouge, on the following dates from 1:00 - 4:30 p.m.

September 3, 2014 1-155 North Dakota Room Agenda
