Welcome to MCIU
Right to Education Local Task Force
The primary purpose of the Right to Education Local Task Force is to make recommendations that assist in improving, strengthening, expanding and monitoring programs and services for school age children with special needs. The Right to Education Local Task Force includes a parent and professional representative, an ARC representative, and a county mental health and mental retardation administrator. The Right to Education Local Task Force works with direct service providers, both public and private in planning for a continuum of programs and services. It serves as a vehicle for educating the community about the needs of students with disabilities. Public awareness campaigns include advertisements in local newspapers, creating a link on the MCIU website, and sending invitations to school districts and parent groups. The Right to Education Local Task Force is an example of how the MCIU Mission provides dynamic and visionary leadership for our school districts, schools, and students.
