LSEM receives $25K grant for education services
Staff Report//March 10, 2021//
Legal Services of Eastern Missouri has received a $25,000 grant from the Bayer Fund to support free legal support services for low-income families with children who need special education services.
Services underwritten by the grant will be used to support at-risk families and children living in North St. Louis County and will concentrate efforts on children attending schools in the Ferguson-Florissant, Hazelwood, Jennings, Normandy, Pattonville, Ritenour and Riverview Gardens districts.
“This Children’s Legal Alliance Educational Advocacy Project funded by Bayer Fund helps both parents and children get the education needed to succeed. This includes homeless families and children who, by federal law, are entitled to a quality education,” said Daniel Underwood, managing attorney of the Children’s Legal Alliance Project.
“This is particularly important during COVID when children may not be in the classroom,” he added.
