About the Southern Tier Special Ed Task Force

The Southern Tier Task Force is committed to improving educational access and outcomes for students with disabilities through a collaborative regional and statewide network of stakeholders representing a variety of perspectives in addressing the special education needs of students in Broome, Tioga, Tompkins, Chemung, Cortland, Chenango, Otsego, and Delaware counties, as well as New York State.

The Southern Tier Special Education Task Force has an online mail list to share information about upcoming events and to allow Executive Council members to share information with other Task Force members. In an effort to avoid overwhelming your inbox, use of the mail list is limited to notifications of task force events and cannot be used for other purposes.

To join the Southern Tier mail list, subscribe here and choose “Southern.Tier.Special.Ed.Task.Force” on the dropdown menu.  You will then receive an email request to confirm your subscription by following the link provided in the email.  It's as easy as that!

You may also subscribe to any or all of the other regional special ed task force lists, but you will need to do so one at a time.
