When we sent out the FREE BOOKS OFFER, we asked you to tell us what you planned to do with "The Second Book." We knew you'd have some "Creative Ideas" but we've been overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness and generosity.
What have we learned?
You want to help others! Many of you plan to donate "The Second Book" to a person, group or organization and you've given thought to the "ideal recipient." One person summed this up by writing "I'm sure you agree that knowledge is power" then described plans to donate "The Second Book" for a specific purpose so that others will benefit.
Curious?
Read "What I Will Do with "The Second Book"
If you missed the FREE BOOKS OFFER, you can read about it at the Wrightslaw site.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) is revising the state special education regulations. As part of this process, VDOE is seeking to reduce their responsibilities to children with disabilities and their families.
Virginia's record of compliance with the Individuals with Disabilities Act is dismal.
According to the last Monitoring Report by OSEP, Virginia was "Non-compliant" in five areas, with "No Information" in two areas. Virginia was not compliant in a single area.
The "Summary of Findings" from OSEP's last Monitoring Report of Virginia.
