Would you like to learn more about special education?  Would you like to meet other parents of students in special education?  Are there questions you'd like to ask our Special Education Director? Join our BEST group!

For the 2024 / 2025 school year, we will meet every month at the Brentwood Union School District Office located at 255 Guthrie Lane on Tuesday evenings from 5:30-7:30.

The first half of the meeting will be a short training on a specific special education topic where parents can get information about how the school district works, what to do if their child is struggling in school, and learn about special education and the IEP process.  They can also ask specific questions relevant to their own child and situation.

The second half of the meeting will be an in-depth listening session for our Director to hear from parents and respond to their concerns and for parents to get support from the District and from each other.
