Oakland Meadow School recognized by Lawrenceville City Council

   Oakland Meadow School took center stage at the March meeting of the Lawrenceville City Council, receiving well-deserved recognition during Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. The special ceremony underscored the school’s commitment to inclusion and supporting students with disabilities. Oakland Meadow School Principal Amy Lazic, along with school leaders, staff, and students, were present as Lawrenceville Mayor David Still praised the school’s innovative programs and its nurturing environment.

     Lazic says the experience was humbling. “Being recognized by the Lawrenceville City Council for Developmental Disabilities

Awareness Month was an incredible honor for Oakland Meadow School,” Lazic shares. “It felt rewarding to see the hard work of our staff and students acknowledged by the community.”

     Oakland Meadow provides specialized educational services through its Therapeutic Day Program for kindergarten through 5th-grade students and its Severe/Profound Intellectual Disability Medically Fragile Program, which serves students from Pre-K through age 22. The school also has a Transition Program for students ages 18 through 22 and supports approximately 13,000 students through the its itinerant departments. These departments include Vision and Hearing Technicians, the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Itinerant Department, Audiology, the Visual Impairments Itinerant Department (including Orientation and Mobility), the Orthopedic Impairment Itinerant Department, and Hospital Homebound, to name a few.

It was also inspiring to know that our efforts are making a meaningful impact beyond our school,” Lazic explains.
