The Partnership That Changed How We See Special Education - Jenny Plumb

Jenny Plumb, Assistant Superintendent at Yosemite Valley Charter Schools and Monarch River Academy, reveals how a seven-year partnership with Lighthouse fundamentally transformed how two California charter schools serve their 5,000 students—by dismantling silos between special education and general education, creating a unified five-tier MTSS system where all staff own outcomes for all students. Discover how breaking down traditional barriers and partnering with service providers who think like family unlocks creative solutions that keep students off IEPs and moving toward independence.
