                                    Rita Joseph

                                        Now there's more to be concerned about with Trump who pledged to dramatically scale back the federal government's role in education policy.

                                        Back in office, as a result, students with disabilities could be at risk in their access to free and appropriate public education in response.

                                        The city must shore up its resource and figure out how to meet the great needs as executive orders sow chaos and confusion.
