Ø  Education 

1. Students who are bright and have diagnoses that interfere with their education are being denied necessary services.
2. Manifestation Determination protection MUST NOT be removed from IDEA. This protects students with disabilities from being suspended for symptoms. For additional information regarding protections provided by manifestation determination, read Letter of the Month that is at the top of TS website Education Page. http://tsa-usa.org/Education/education_main.htm
3. Require that College Education Majors and teachers who are re-certifying receive information regarding TS
