 * Sponsors:**McKenna Ritter, Minnesota, Moderate Republican:MRitter


 * Issue Category:** Civil Rights and Education


 * Bill Title:** Enable Options for the Disabled


 * Purpose:** Our bill is focused on insuring that all school districts are supplied with a sufficient amount of trained professionals to assist any disabled students in receiving the best education possible to open up options for their future to be brighter.


 * Eligibility:** Our bill is going to apply to school districts across the United States, students with disabilities, and their parents hoping for the best education for their son or daughter.


 * Terms and Benefits:** First, we will find applicants who have Master's degrees in Education. They must then take the courses we provide to learn how to treat children who have various disabilities. Then we will assign these trained professionals to school districts throughout a state to help in the education of disabled students by teaching their teachers how to best assist and educate these students. When they enter these school districts, they will establish a meeting with each of the disabled students' families, as well as, some other school officials to devise education plans that fit each individual student's needs. They will inform the regular special needs teachers that they must continue these meetings to keep the students' parents involved. The trained professionals will then go on to other school districts in the state and repeat this process. They are spreading awareness for the need to have the best staff to teach disabled students, which will create brighter futures for each and every one of them.

Labor: average of $61,000 per trained professional, which is the salary of these educators. Equipment: $1,253 for each trained professional, which is the necessary educational and therapeutic supplies.
 * Fiscal Impact:**

For $8,000,000 total, which is low for an education bill, we plan to hire 129 trained professionals and supply each with equipment.
