• PACER Day at the Capitol: “Be A Champion”

  Monday, March 4 See flyer

  Minnesota parents of children with disabilities will have their voices heard March 4 in St. Paul during ‘PACER Day at the Capitol.’ Participants will attend a dynamic workshop led by advocacy and education experts, lobbyists, and legislators to become familiar with potential legislation that may impact children with disabilities. Topics will include special education, mental health, education funding, the use of seclusion and restraint in schools, bullying prevention legislation, housing, and more. Parents will be trained to effectively share their stories before meeting with their state legislators. Space is limited. Lunch is available for purchase after the workshop and before meeting with your legislators. The workshop is paid for with private funds.
  10:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. (St. Paul - see Map)
