Local Task Force

Local Task Force 29 serves families, school districts, and service providers in Schuylkill County. We come together to share knowledge, discuss rights, and strengthen the quality of education for children with special needs. Our goal is to empower families with insight, create meaningful connections, and amplify the voices of those with special needs in our community.
