SBDM Parent Heather Glaros
To Whom It May Concern;
My name is Heather Glaros and I would like to be considered as a parent representative for The
Academies of Bryan Station’s SBDM Committee. I am from Lexington, Kentucky and I graduated from
Bryan Station in 1996. I am the mother of two wonderful children. My daughter Natalie will be a
sophomore at Bryan Station in the Fall of 2020. My son will be a senior at The Stables.
When my son was in elementary school he was diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome. Upon diagnosis, I
threw myself in to learning everything I possibly can about how to help my son excel. It became a
passion and a curse, as anyone would tell you who also has a child with special needs. I wanted to share
my experiences with as many people as I could. In 2017, I was granted the opportunity to do so. I am
currently the Special Education Parent Liaison for Fayette County Public Schools’ Parent Resource
Center. With this position I am able to help parents who sometimes feel helpless and hopeless.
As much as I love my position, I would also appreciate the chance to have parents like myself be heard
on the SBDM. I want to ensure fairness, equality and a positive experience for all students at the
Academies of Bryan Station. I want to be a part of watching every student grow and graduate college
and career ready.
Respectfully,
Heather Elizabeth Glaros
