PARENT ACTION COALITION MEETS TUESDAY

SIKESTON -- The Parent Action Coalition of Southeast Missouri, an advocacy and support group for parents of children with disabilities, will hold a meeting on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Kenny Rodgers Cereal Palsy Center in Sikeston.

A resource center, located at the Kenny Rodgers CP Center, is being established for all interested persons. The center will offer a video tape library, medical and legislative materials pertaining to children with disabilities, as well as specific information regarding educational systems and specific disabling conditions.
