Our website is temporarily down for renovation. We expect to be back up and operational very soon. Until then, you may communicate with us at dce@dce-tn.org
The Disability Coalition on Education is a Statewide alliance of family members, educators, State and advocacy organizations, focused on bringing about positive change in the education of students with and without disabilities. DCE creates partnerships among families, schools and communities to ensure that all students receive quality education, enjoy a high level of quality of school life in all its aspects, and that rules, regulations, policies and practices provide for equal opportunities for all children.
DCE has monthly meetings in Nashville, which are open to anyone who has an interest or stake in issues related to the education of Tennessee’s children. DCE also maintains an email list to keep active members and any other interested parties aware of educational concerns and happenings throughout the State. DCE is primarily a vehicle for disseminating information, and in some cases taking action through letter writing and meeting with legislators, State Board of Ed members, and other stakeholders and policymakers in the area of education.
There is no cost to join DCE. If you or someone you know is interested in joining DCE, please let us know by sending your contact information, including phone number, mailing address and e-mail address to: members@dce-tn.org. There are many possible levels of participation, and there is absolutely no obligation ever to do anything more than receive updates from DCE about educational initiatives that we believe are important to any family with a school-aged student, with or without disabilities. However, some of you may want to do much more, and we encourage you to take the DCE vision as far as you can.
