Michael Remus received the JoLeta Reynolds Award, given for exceptional service in advancing the field of special education at last week's National Institute on Legal Issues for Educating Students with Disabilities.
"It is especially meaningful to me that I was nominated by Raising Special Kids, Arizona's Parent Training and Information Center. It is wonderful to have a relationship with them that focuses on working together to help students with disabilities and their parents," commented Remus. "All we do is worth nothing unless we make a difference in the lives of kids. If students are struggling, we must find ways to help them succeed. If students are not making progress, we must find ways to keep them engaged in learning. The future of our world depends on how well we teach our students. Failure is not an option."

ALTCS has begun a process to revise the existing PAS tool (Pre-admission Screening) to determine ALTCS eligibility for children under age 6. The new eligibility screening would combine two evaluations from 0-3 and 3-6 into one instrument for birth to 6.
Below are documents used in the development of the new PAS tool:
