Dear Ms.Campbell and Board members,

Advocates for Special Kids would like to request to be placed on the agenda for the next board meeting scheduled on November 15, 2000. The purpose of our request, is to ask for the opportunity to give a 15-20 minute presentation about the philosophy of inclusion and how it relates to our own school district Mission and Vision Statements.

For your convenience, we have included a copy of our presentation and a description of a 12 minute video from the Institute on Disability, University of New Hampshire, called, "Petroglyph’s, The Writing on the Wall", that we wish to present to the board and the community.

Thank you,
