The residential program at the New Jersey School for the Deaf is an essential resource that provides vital support and education for deaf students. Closing this program would deprive these students of access to a nurturing environment tailored to their unique needs. We must prioritize inclusive education that empowers individuals with hearing impairments to reach their full potential. Maintaining the residential program ensures deaf students can learn and grow surrounded by a supportive community that truly understands their experiences. I urge you to take action to keep this invaluable program open and reaffirm the state's commitment to providing equitable educational opportunities for all.
