"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Parents of children with autism and other disabilities urged Bozeman lawmakers Monday to change Montana law so that their kids can stay in public school until age 21, instead of being turned away at age 19, to give them a better chance of becoming self-sufficient.

Chris Pope http://leg.mt.gov/css/Sessions/64th/leg_info.asp?HouseID=0&SessionID=109&LAWSID=16520 , elected last month as a new House member from Bozeman, said he has asked that a bill be drafted to raise the graduation age to 21 for students with disabilities, saying it could "substantially improve" the lives of those who are less fortunate.
