Where is the Public Statement from the George B. Thomas Learning Center?

Students with learning disabilities are not welcome to use the publicly funded George B. Thomas Learning Center (Saturday School). Here's one parent's public statement about attempts to enroll students with special education learning issues in the program.

Councilmember George Leventhal asked the GBTLC Executive Director about this issue (See Facebook message below).  The personal response he got was that the program is open to all students.  But, that response doesn't align with the reality that parents have faced when they tried to enroll their child in the program.

Thanks for asking Councilmember Leventhal, but we need a public statement from this publicly funded tutoring service.  We need to see the statement on the GBTLC website.  No side conversations, no private exchanges of information, we need a public announcement from this organization that they are going to comply with federal law and provide services to ALL MCPS students.
