Chapter 766-approved schools and the families of the children who attend them, are celebrating Deval Patrick's FY '12 budget approval for cost inflation and tuition rate adjustments.
But before we all do a happy dance, I want you to thank Patrick. Many of the schools and disability organizations lobbied him consistently with the hard facts that they need basic increases to survive and serve disabled children. They were persistent and dedicated in conveying this important message.
Thank you Governor Patrick, for listening to those voices. They represented those that cannot speak for themselves.
