I support this petition as it is fiscally responsible to fund the services
that enable to students with disabilities to become independent adult
citizens in the future. |

because they are a part of this human race. They may have disability but
they have the right to be educated like everyone else. Education would
encourage them to have hope in their future. |

I work at a university whose special mission is to make higher education
accessible to students with disabilities. It is crucial that adequate
staffing and resources be available to students with disabilities so they
have the ability to go on with studies at the college level. |

because as a college counselor and hard of hearing individual,I find it
inexcusable that the CPS board wants to cut the budget for Deaf Education,
when the services are already woefully underfunded and inferior to many
other Deaf K-12 programs. |

As an occupational therapist working with people with disabilities for over
40 years, I know there is a significant difference in achievement when
there is a low student to teacher ratio.
Students with disabilities need the extra assistance to progress and
succeed. Please do not cut funds for this vulnerable population - give the
the help they need.
Thank you.

cutting crisis here are are being forced back into segregated schools as a
result.

Elizaabeth T. Osten :
As an occupational therapist of over 30 years, I work with many children
from the Chicago public schools. I have seen first hand the need for more
not less support for children. This is especially true for childen with
disabilties. To cut funds or to expand the teacher to student ratio
guarantees that Chicago's children will continue to fall behind
children from other areas in Illinois and the rest of the country. |

Young people with disabilities are facing more barriers to graduate. Many
must now pass standadized tests in order to recieve a diploma in order to
move on to college or work opportunities. It is now when young people
deserve access to their right to barrier free education. |

make these cuts. |

Patrick Smock :
Working with pediatric and neonatal patients at Children's Hospital in
San Diego for the last 32 years, it's difficult to fathom how anyone
could consider financial cuts for services to disabled students. Shame
Chicago for your lack of compassion and lack of understanding for those who
suffer already from a lack of publice services. |

Adriana Esparza :
because as a concerned Illinois taxpayer & social service professional, the
budget cuts facing the CPS & especially the underrepresented minority of
special needs students these cuts are appalling & frightening. I know how a
great education can foster a productive citizen, without a quality program
w/ professionals that meet the needs of these already challenged students,
they will be lost as adults. Please reconsider these cuts & think about the
future of these children! |

Howard A. Rosenblum :
because the state of special education is deplorable.CPS should be
redoubling its efforts to ensure that all students with disabilities
receive an appropriate education. Instead, CPS is cutting back. The
inevitable result is an even more substandard education than is being
provided now. This is crucial because only through education can people
with disabilities achieve true equality. |
