VOORHEESVILLE — Mary Clark described the passage of Jerry’s Law, signed by the governor last week, as an event resulting from divine intervention.
The law Clark and her son, Jerry Clark II, championed requires schools to inform parents of their right to have their children evaluated by the Committee on Special Education.

Mary Clark put forth a bill — requiring schools to inform parents of special-education services — after her grandson committed suicide in 2010. The superintendent of his school believes it is unnecessary.
