Shoreline Special Education PTSA

News

New Name! Our PTSA changed its name to the Shoreline Special Education PTSA. "Special education" is the legal term for instruction specially designed to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability, and we feel it is important to use respectful and inclusive language.
