Thank you @CMLewisGeorgeW4 for stepping in!

@OSSEDC SPED summer sessions start Monday, and you don't have bus schedules done. Where are all the changes you claim were implemented? The agency that measures impact has made NO progress with transportation. @MayorBowser @DMEforDC @dcpublicschools @ChmnMendelson

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

Up early attempting to get @dcpublicschools and @OSSEDC to work together to get my child the services to which she is entitled. @DCPSChancellor get your staff to do their jobs. @murchschool @DMEforDC @DCSBOE @MayorBowser @DC_Advocate @dcspedhub

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

The blame game with @dcpublicschools and @OSSEDC never stops. Can someone get my child’s information updated for her to get the transportation she's entitled to? @DCPSChancellor @murchschool @DMEforDC @dcspedhub @DC_Advocate

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

When did @dcpublicschools stop accommodating SPED students on field trips? @DCPSChancellor @murchschool @dcspedhub @MurchPrincipal @DC_Advocate @DMEforDC

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

I took my daughter to @murchschool fully prepared for school, but had to bring her back home due to the failure to comply with her IEP and safety plan. My child’s safety or my livelihood. Why do I have to choose? @MurchPrincipal @DCPSChancellor @dcspedhub @DC_Advocate @MurchHSA

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@kathyzindc @CHCSPTA @ChmnMendelson @CMCharlesAllen @VinceGrayWard7 Yet there was millions available for the Wizards!

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

I'm glad the Wizards are staying in DC, however, I have been in multiple meetings at my daughter’s school regarding budget cuts that eliminated three positions.
@MayorBowser @dcpublicschools @ChmnMendelson @CMRobertWhiteDC @CMLewisGeorgeW4
Make it make sense! 🤔

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@RobertWhite_DC @RobertWhite_DC, you said you would support special needs families. We haven't heard from you on the ongoing issues with @OSSEDC

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@OSSEDC can’t get students to school on time or reimburse parents for transporting their kids on time. I have four pending reimbursements! What does @OSSEDC do safely or on time when it comes to student transportation? @DCSuptGrant @MayorBowser @DCPSChancellor @ChmnMendelson

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

My child was assigned to a new classroom today at @murchschool. I haven't been connected with her new teacher, given any information on her classroom or allowed to meet the teacher. @dcpublicschools @DCPSChancellor @dcspedhub @DC_Advocate @DCSBOE @MurchPrincipal

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

Once again my daughter was excluded from an activity at @murchschool. Inclusion takes action! @MurchPrincipal @MurchHSA @dcpublicschools @dcspedhub @SpecialEdCoop @dcpublicschools @DCPSChancellor @DMEforDC @DC_Advocate @DCSBOE

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

As a @dcps SPED parent with a child at @murchschool, I don't understand why I can't get my questions on the ILS curriculum answered. @DCPSChancellor @dcspedhub @SpecialEdCoop @DMEforDC @DC_Advocate @DCSBOE

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@DCOmbuds @Eboni_RoseDC @RobertWhite_DC @creidsboe @trayonwhite @Janeese4DC @chenderson @BrianneKNadeau @AllisterSBOE @brookepintodc Let’s see less eating breakfast and more impact in special education.

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@StephMaltzDC @OSSEDC @DCSuptGrant @dcmayorsoffice @DCOmbuds @dcspedhub @DC_OCA @ChmnMendelson @chenderson @RobertWhite_DC @AJEInc Because there is absolutely no accountability!

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@DCSuptGrant @OSSEDC How can children succeed when @OSSEDC doesn't get kids to school safely or on time? Fix what is happening under your leadership. Transportation for special needs kids is a disgrace! @ChmnMendelson @MayorBowser

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@StephMaltzDC @OSSEDC @AJEInc @DCChildrensLaw @thedctweeter @efcmitchell @AdultGambino1 @ThawtfulWard7 I haven't heard anything about it. Did they do any outreach?

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@MayorBowser @ChmnMendelson will you ever hold @OSSEDC accountable? The problem isn’t the bus driver shortage. It’s ineffective leadership that operates with no accountability. @DCSuptGrant @CMLewisGeorgeW4 @CMRobertWhiteDC @DCSBOE

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@DCSuptGrant @dcpublicschools @DCPSChancellor @OSSEDC How do you expect us to have a fantastic school year when you continue to fail families with transportation? What is your plan to fix it? Get our kids with special needs to school safely and on time!

[Asha Pinkney Gillus @ashapgillus]

@OSSEDC @ELHaynesPCS @CMLewisGeorgeW4 When will we actually see the impact of a new director. He's been in place for nearly a year, and there has been no progress. @CMLewisGeorgeW4 you committed to holding @OSSEDC accountable. There needs to be more than just photo ops!
