Mother Hopes to Educate School Board on Special Needs Students

Channel3000:

When it comes to educating children, parents play a crucial role outside of school. But Rose Helms, whose child, Michael, has autism, wants to take her influence inside the classroom.

This is why there was a special guest in Michael Helms' special education class on Wednesday. The guest was Art Phillips, an Evansville school board member and a police officer.

"My interest is to learn about what the needs are, and if our district and our employees are meeting those needs to help the children out," said Phillips. "That's the biggest thing that I want to find out."
