The Arc of the United States

Thank you to @RepDonBeyer, @AbrahamHamadeh, @BobbyScott, @ChrisMurphyCT, @BernieSanders, and @PattyMurray, for your leadership in #KASSA, banning seclusion & dangerous restraints, and protecting students, especially students with disabilities and students of color.

Our CEO, Katy Neas, met with U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon alongside coalition partners to talk about the future of federal programs that support students with disabilities. We are grateful for every opportunity to highlight the importance of the Dept. of Education.
