HISTORY:

The Local Task Force (LTF) system was
established in 1972 as part of the Consent
Decree between the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and the PA Association for
Retarded Citizens. The PARC Consent Decree
guaranteed a free public program of
education for all school-aged persons with intellectual disability or thought-to-have intellectual dis

ability regardless of their intellectual functioning. MEETING SCHEDULE

Meetings are held the first Wednesday of every
month at the Allegheny Intermediate Unit offices at the Waterfront in Homestead from 6:30 till 8:30 p.m. We have no meetings in July & August. Parents and interested parties have a welcome place at our meetings with concerns and/or topics about Special Education in your School District. You can also call the "Parent Assistance Line" at 412-394-5930 if you have any questions or need assistance with a Special Education issue regarding your child. Your involvement helps assure the students' right to a free and appropriate education.

From our friends The Lindsay Theater:
"We're hosting a sensory friendly screening of Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu on Saturday, May 30, at 10 a.m. Tickets are on sale for our discounted rate of $8.75 each.

The Mandalorian & Grogu, which starts playing at The Lindsay on May 22, marks the big-screen debut of Mandalorian mercenary Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu, who many know as Baby Yoda. The Empire has fallen, and the fledgling New Republic has enlisted Din and his young apprentice to protect everything the Rebellion fought for."
