About P.S. IDEA

Who we are:

We are a parent-driven grassroots advocacy organization based in Morgantown, Monongalia County, West Virginia.
 

What we believe:

• We believe that the ultimate goal of public education is the development of responsible, caring adults who each contribute to society using their individual talents. 

• We believe that EVERY student is capable of achieving this goal. 

• We believe that the inclusion of students with differing abilities (both in their neighborhood schools and in the regular classroom) is the most efficient and effective way of accomplishing this goal for ALL students.

What we do:

• We help parents understand their rights and the rights of their kids.

• We help teachers find the resources and support to make inclusion successful.

• We promote dispute resolution at the lowest possible level.

• We provide feedback regarding public policy at every opportunity.

• We work in synergy with other advocacy organizations.

• We listen.  We learn.  We adapt.  And, we VOTE!

When we meet:

To be determined.
