National Special Education Day

Posted Date: 12/02/24 (8:00 AM)

Dear BPS Families and Staff,

Today, Bristol Public Schools observes National Special Education Day, which commemorates the signing of the Individuals with Disabilities  Education Act into law on this day in 1975.  IDEA granted children with special needs access to free and quality public education.

On this day, we celebrate the incredible achievements of our students with disabilities and the dedication of our administrators, teachers, staff, and families, who work tirelessly to provide a nurturing, supportive, and individualized learning experience for each child.


I want to express my deepest appreciation to the special education educators, specialists, supervisors, paraeducators, and support staff who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of our students. Your commitment and passion help create an environment where every student can grow, learn, and achieve their fullest potential.

In partnership,

Iris White
Acting Superintendent of Schools
