The District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) announced the six winners of $1.5 million in new competitive grant funding to help public schools improve their capacity to serve students with disabilities.
“Two Rivers is thrilled to be selected as a recipient of the Special Education Enhancement Fund competitive grant,” said David Nitkin, Interim Executive Director of Two Rivers PCS. “With OSSE’s generous support, we will expand our ability to support high needs students with disabilities in an inclusion setting by piloting an Early Childhood classroom fully co-taught by a special education and general education teacher.
