Why your support matters
This is the work your donation funds:
- Public records requests and appeals filed — and chased — across dozens of Massachusetts districts, with every status tracked publicly on the Student Settlement Records Project.
- Problem Resolution System complaints on behalf of families navigating special education.
- A database of 7,800+ school-level restraint records, published so no pattern stays buried.
- Data-driven reporting and public-comment testimony at school committee meetings across the state.
Transparency: donation progress and recent donations are tracked publicly on the GoFundMe campaign page — the same standard of disclosure we demand from the districts we cover.
