Parents gather to speak up for better support in the classroom for students with disabilities

CBC Newfoundland Morning

More than 30 parents in Western Newfoundland gathered last night to talk about supports in the classroom for children with disabilities.They came together in Corner Brook to talk about the help needed for their children, and to plan next steps. CBC spoke with parents at the start of the school year when they realized that the supports available in schools last year had been cut back. Some children with disabilities haven't been back to school since. Parents say part of the issue has to do with federal funding for Indigenous children under a policy called Jordan's Principle.The CBC's Sanuda Ranawake and Alex Kennedy covered Thursday night's meeting.
