Building student independence starts long before graduation—and often begins on the school bus.
This keynote examines how an over-reliance on 1:1 adult support can uninten- tionally limit student growth while creating operational challenges for transpor- tation teams. Patrick Mulick offers a practical, systems-level approach to building sustainable supports that promote student agency, safety, and greater indepen- dence during daily transitions.

MONDAY, NOV. 9 | 8 a.m. –9:45 a.m.
GLENNA WRIGHT-GALLO
The federal landscape for special education transportation has shifted signifi- cantly, but IDEA requirements and student protections remain in place.

This session offers a clear, practical look at what has changed, what has not, common documentation gaps, and six funding streams districts may be over- looking. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of who needs to be involved in these conversations and a practical framework they can take back to their district.
