Eye on Education: Families invited to attend presentation on ‘financial planning for your special child(ren)’

The Eye on Education section of the newsletter highlights an education-oriented article or topic. The goal is to provide an outside perspective and more information to continue to educate parents/guardians, students, staff members and community members to improve the educational learning environment of District 88.

This week’s topic is a seminar that will be hosted by State Rep. Diane Blair-Sherlock on Sept. 25, where families can learn more about the Illinois Achieving a Better Life Experience (“IL ABLE”) plan and how to set up a special needs trust.

According to https://illinoisable.com, “IL ABLE is a savings and investment plan that makes it possible for people with disabilities and their families to save and invest their money for expenses related to living with a disability.”

The presentation will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. at DuPage High School District 88, 2 Friendship Plaza in Addison. A Spanish-speaking interpreter will be available to assist attendees. For questions or more information, click on the flyer above, call 630-415-3520, or e-mail JaxWest.D46@gmail.com.
