Please come and express/share your concerns about the cuts in IPRS funding/developmental therapy funding that Southeastern has imposed for the new fiscal year because of their fiscal mismanagement. They keep blaming the state, but it is their mismanagement that is hurting individuals and families. About time the media got involved.
If you haven't heard about the cuts its because Southeastern just recently informed the service providers.
It is not the cut in state funding
that was causing this since other places in NC are not experiencing
these drastic cuts at all.
Why aren't there consequences for those who mismanaged the funds?
Someone at Southeastern should lose their jobs. What about our kids?
Are we supposed to just 'get over it'? Our kids are going to be penalized
because someone at Southeastern mismanaged money? How can the state deny qualified individuals services based on the errors of a few?
Doesn't anyone care? Why isn't Southeastern being investigated? Also if
only ten percent of those on DT are being served then staff at
Southeastern should be cut to ten percent to serve the smaller
population.
PLEASE DON'T CUT THE FUNDING!!!!
