Free PACER workshop coming to Grand Marais



On Monday, February 24 there will be a free PACER workshop for parents of children with disabilities.

The workshop, titled “The ABCs of the IEP: Making the Individualized Education Program (IEP) work for your child” will be held at Cook County Higher Education from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Attendees will receive a PACER booklet that will help them comprehend how each required part of the IEP can be developed to meet their child’s needs. Parents will gain knowledge about how to participate effectively in the annual IEP meeting.

To participate in the workshop, parents will need to bring a copy of each of the following: Their child’s most recent special education evaluation report and their child’s current IEP.

The workshop is funded in part by a grant from the Minnesota Department of Education.
