2025-2026 HOPE Award Nominations
Kaskaskia Special Education #801 would like to recognize KSED member district special education staff who are exceeding expectations in their work for the district and students they serve. We want to acknowledge these individuals and celebrate their dedication to serve others and making a difference for children receiving special education services. To do so, KSED is taking nominations for cooperative special education staff members to be recipients of the HOPE (Helping Other People Excel) award.
If you know of a special educator within the thirty member districts or a KSED employee whom you feel demonstrates a continued effort to go the extra mile in supporting the needs of students, families, and colleagues, please nominate them for a HOPE (Helping Other People Excel) Award. Nominations may be submitted by district and/or cooperative staff members, and all nominations are due by December 5, 2025.
