Parent calls for autism review AUTISM from Front “I don’t want to see sudden motions thrust at us at the last minute,” said Neufeld, who felt
such motions result in decisions being made under pressure. However, trustee Silvia Dyck called it a directive, and Maahs
called it a gag motion. “It seems to me the point of a draft [agenda] is to look and see if anything is missing and if we’d like to add

items, we let you know,” said Maahs. “[With this motion] it seems to me drafts are pointless. “Are we gagging ourselves here?” Maahs said she had tried to get her motion for a review on special education services included in the agenda prior to the meeting, but was “flatly” denied. She said it was well thought out with background and rationale provided. But Piper reiterated motions that come in late at night do not allow all trustees to do their own sufficient research into the topic at hand. “You may have had a month to research this, but when you provide a motion at 11 p.m. and we’re meeting at 7 a.m. the next morning, that time doesn’t allow any opportunity for the rest of us to do research,” said Piper. For parent Tonja Padgett, the display was disappointing. Padgett said a review of special education services is needed, and hopes this isn’t the last of the discussion. The parent of three says she doesn’t have to worry about her non-neurologically challenged children at school, but for her autistic son, “I have to fight every step of the way,” she said. “The bottom line is this: we want consistent, fair education for our children.”
