FL Education Bill

The Florida Association of the Deaf will have a Deaf and Hard of Hearing Day at the state Capitol in Tallahassee one week from today (Jan 17) starting at 9am. The goal is to show support for the The Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children's Education Bill of Rights which is SB 260 in the Senate and HB 315 in the state House. The Florida Association of the Deaf says the legislation will ensure the education rights of deaf children in the state and implement a communication plan to make sure that schools are putting the needs of the students first.
