Suggested talking points:
My son/daughter is a student at The Emerge School for Autism. She/he has very specialized education needs and we can only find the help we need in our community at Emerge.
The Emerge School provides my child with an opportunity to thrive in an environment that is tailored to his/her unique needs. The School’s teachers work hand-in-hand with Emerge therapists to provide my son/daughter with the tools and skills he/she needs to succeed.
My child has reached milestones at Emerge I never thought were possible. We know our child’s educational path is a marathon not a sprint, but The Emerge School provides hope for my family each and every day.
Unfortunately, the amount of funding The Emerge School receives from East Baton Rouge Parish is not enough to fully cover the cost of staff needed to support students in the classroom. The future of our School is in jeopardy.
My child deserves a fair and equitable opportunity to realize his/her full potential. I urge you to approve the additional funding needed to sustain The Emerge School.
