Superintendent Arntzen to Host Third Parental Night Discussion on Legislation Impacting Students of All Abilities
HELENA- Superintendent Arntzen will host the third monthly virtual community discussion focusing on education legislation passed during the 68th legislative session. The discussion will be held on Wednesday, August 23 at 7:00 PM via Zoom and will be moderated by the Office of Public Instruction’s Chief Legal Counsel. These are open opportunities for parents, families, teachers, school leaders, and legislators. The theme is Local Accountability: How Recent Legislation Affects Families, Students, and Communities.
“More communication with parents and schools surrounding students of all abilities makes for a successful school year for all,” said Superintendent Arntzen. “I am grateful to Representative Vinton’s passion for recognizing that parents direct educational goals in a partnership with the school and now through community education services with the passage of HB 393. This bill allows the best fit for the student.”
The August discussion will focus on details from HB 393 and how this new legislation will affect children of all abilities and educational services in communities across the state. The meeting agenda can be found here and a summary of House Bill 393 can be found here. The recording of the second discussion and the dates for the next discussions are available on OPI’s Parent Resources page.
