DPS parents are forming a PTA focused on the needs of exceptional children, or those students identified being gifted or as having disabilities.
Wake County has their own special education PTA and now the Durham Council of PTAs is hoping to launch their own. The Exceptional Children's PTA will meet tonight for the first time from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Greystone Baptist Church at 2601 Hillsborough Rd.
