Board member Raquel Regalado presented LSGMI with the proclamation which recognizes Monica Vigues-Pitan’s and Champagne Girten’s leadership, advocacy, creative collaboration and outreach efforts. The proclamation also commends LSGMI projects that help to ensure that all children receive the necessary support and environment to achieve and excel academically.
Specifically, the School Board of Miami-Dade County praises LSGMI’s projects that assist parents in having their children evaluated to determine their eligibility for Exceptional Student Education (ESE) as well as make sure that schools honor their legal obligations to students eligible for ESE services. Champagne Girten and Evian White, LSGMI attorneys, were present to receive this award.
