I need the name, phone and email address for each state's assessment and sped director in the US.
I know that there have been changes since that time.
I'd like somebody to go to each state's Department of Education website and compile a list of the director of assessment, phone, and email. I also need this for each state's director of special services/special education.
If you're interested in doing this, feel free to answer "I'm on it!" or the like.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Thanks for the information you found. Although Becky's was selected as best, I tipped you $10 for your help :)
May have bit off more than I could chew!
WOW! When refreshing the screen and updating what I wrote, I didn't get a complete refresh to see other postings. I can't believe how quickly you found this information (well a solid chunk of it) through another website's database. I've been searching really hard through individual DOE webpages! I'm crazy for trying it this way I think...
No worries. I think Becky will come through :)
Thanks, are you still working to fill in the blanks?

I can't help but LOL. The Director of Assessment for the state of Illinois is Joyce Zurkowski... ironically, she used to be my office mate, and is one of my very best friends in the whole wide world. (The kind of friend that you split your winnings with in Vegas!) Illinois is the ONE state I had covered :)
Thanks! It's like I had ESP or something...
