Lend Your Support to Proposed Resolution on the Use of School-Wide Positive Behavior Supports in Pennsylvania
ACTION ALERT!!!
With the full support of the Disability Rights Network, the Education Law Center, The Arc of Pennsylvania, the Mental Health Association in PA, Public Citizens for Children and Youth, and the Pennsylvania Community Providers Association, Representative James Roebuck will soon be proposing a Resolution calling for the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee (LBFC) to study the use of School-Wide Positive Behavior Supports (SWPBS) in Pennsylvania and other states. The resolution directs the LBFC to evaluate the effectiveness of SWPBS in states where it has been implemented, identify costs and existing funding sources, recommend how to expand and fund SWPBS in Pennsylvania, and compile and distribute a report for the House of Representatives. Representative Roebuck has issued a co-sponsorship memo which is attached for your review.
DRN, ELC, The Arc of PA, MHAPA, PCCY, and PCPA ask for your assistance in supporting the passage of this important Resolution. We urge you to take a moment, right now, to call or write your State Representative and ask that he or she sign on as a co-sponsor. This small investment of your time will make a huge difference!
