Five years ago, the Wayzata Special Education Advisory Committee (WSEAC) created an annual award to honor outstanding staff members who go above and beyond to make our schools truly inclusive. This spring, families and staff nominated educators who make a real difference for students with disabilities, and the WSEAC selected this year’s winners at their May meeting. This award celebrates staff who create a sense of belonging for every student. Please join us in honoring Adam Fleischacker, a teacher at North Woods Elementary.
