Ohio ACTE Special Needs Division

The SND & OASCES are combining efforts again this year to present our conference on March 6th & 7th, 2014. We are excited about this year's conference! We need your help!  First, is a call for proposals. We would like to invite you to consider presenting a workshop at the conference. If you have something you are doing, that you feel others would benefit from, consider sharing your expertise.

Second, we need nominations for awards. If you know someone that is going above and beyond what is expected of them, fill out a nomination form and submit it.  Click here for the nomination form.

All forms for proposals and awards should be submitted by Dec. 13, 2013. Please send the forms to lahaburn@mvctc.com and cc JBROUMAN@mayfieldschools.org Thank you in advance for your help!

Constitution & By-laws:
The SND Board is recommending a few changes in our Constitution & By-laws. We would like our members to see these now so you will have time to look them over and ask any questions you may have. We will be voting on these at our conference March 6 & 7, 2014:

• In conjunction with the National ACTE we are purposing the change of our name from Special Needs to Special Population.
• Officers of the SND Board will serve 2 year terms instead of a 1 year term.
• Change the wording of voting every year to voting on conference years, which is now every two years.
