The Greenville County Schools Board of Trustees introduced a new position, a parent resource representative for special education services, to provide a liaison for special needs families in the district. The role will be taken up by Jennifer Meisten, the current principal at Beck International Academy. The Board also discussed efforts to have special needs students recognized at the state level, as some students are not considered on track to graduate by the state education department because their educational track might not result in a standard state diploma.
