Restraint and Seclusion Public Hearing – Friday, December 11th at 6:00pm.
In the meantime, please share this post far and wide. SEPTA encourages the community to register to speak at the public hearing next week.
We understand that this is a very tough issue for many, including both families and staff. If you wish to remain anonymous to FCPS, please email our Advocacy Chair, Diane Cooper Gould, at advocacy@fairfaxcountysepta.org. Additionally, if you are willing to volunteer to read an anonymous testimony, please e-mail Diane as well. SEPTA will remove any identifying information before sharing it with a volunteer.
Please keep the following in mind when preparing testimony:
- All testimonies must be 3 minutes or less.
- We suggest timing yourself in advance, to ensure your comments will fit within the 3 minute mark.
- Reserving a Space on the Speaker list:
- Sign up online
