First day of the @ICED_2025 conference, the first time this event is held in Italy since infamous 1880 Milan Conference, where a ban on sign language in Deaf education was declared. Powerful and beautiful signed poem by Grace Giacubbo, Deaf artist and actress from Italy.

Today, the 4201 Schools Association was represented in Albany by Seth Bravin, Interim CEO/Superintendent of @LexforthedeafNY. We are grateful for Seth's representation of our schools at the @NYSEDNews Board of Regents meeting!
And a big thank you, to the @BPHACaucus for including this important initiative in this year's "People's Budget" which will support the retention of our specially trained teachers and support staff.
Assemblywoman Andrea Bailey gave RSD a warm welcome for 4201 Schools Advocacy Day. Our students shared their experiences at RSD and why they think it is so important for the Assembly to support increased funding for RSD and the other 4201s. #SupportOurStudents
Assemblymember Jen Lunsford (135th District) sat down with RSD students Bom, Charlie and Jacob to discuss the need for funding growth that’s in line with support for public school districts. We appreciate your continued support and interest in RSD! #fundthe4201s
The @4201Schools request the authority to retain a fund balance at each of our 11 schools. Every other sector has this ability, and it will help our schools maintain fiscal stewardship of their operations. #SupportOurStudents and #FundThe4201s@GovKathyHochul
Thank you Assemblyman @BrianDManktelow for meeting with our students and asking them what they hope increased funding would accomplish... they advocated for support to attract and retain teachers to ensure the best quality education and more electives. #fundthe4201s
Our Advocacy Day meetings continue with Assemblyman @JoshJensen134's staff. Our students shared their experiences at RSD and advocated for the funding priorities for the @4201schools.

We’re urging our state legislators to support increased funding for our not-for-profit, state-supported schools. The @4201schools serve students who are blind, Deaf, and physically disabled, and these funds are critical to student success. #FundThe4201s
1/3 - We are encouraged by @GovKathyHochul's proposals to sustain funding for our 11 schools serving children who are blind, deaf, and severely physically disabled. We fully support these proposed investments that will ensure the continued success of our students.
