Know Your Rights: Special Education in New York

Students with disabilities and their parents or legal guardians have many rights under the law. Federal and New York State law protects students with disabilities who need special education services.

Join the Office of the New York State Attorney General’s (OAG) Plattsburgh Regional Office for an overview of the special education process and available legal options to resolve disagreements between families and schools concerning a child’s special education services. Each presentation will include a Q&A session.

The sessions will be held on Thursday, August 8 (10:30 a.m.) and Thursday, August 15 (6 p.m.) at the Akwesasne Housing Authority Training Room, located at 378 State Route 37 Suite B, Akwesasne, NY 13655. Please kindly RSVP at https://ag.ny.gov/special-education-rights
