This is a place to talk about autism and the impact that it has on our lives. I am mostly interested in making legislative changes to enchance the education of our children.

We Need The Help of Families In Lee';s Summit
Many of you know that the Office of the State Auditor is
conducting an official audit of the Lee’s Summit School District. Lee’s Summit is also being overseen by the
OCR for issues that have come up. It is
the perfect time to contact the auditor and make sure that they are aware of
everything that goes on in this district.
They need to be made aware of the issues that we face and how the
district is handling the education of our children. You can do this anonymously. Below I will provide you with the information
needed to contact the auditor’s office.
Please don’t let this opportunity pass by without doing all
that you can to help our children.
Thank you
Sherri

Guns in Classrooms: South Dakota law allows districts to arm teachers.
Guns in Classrooms: South Dakota law allows districts to arm teachers.
I am amazed that we cannot get a law passed to protect our children from child abuse in the public school system but in SD school staff were able to get a gun law passed to protect themselves. What is wrong with our government and why do they refuse to protect our children?
