"As a Superintendent, it was my pleasure to have Dr. Cotton on my district administrative team as the ESE Director. I selected her for this position because she truly has a huge heart for students and their families. Although she is an industry expert in compliance and policy implementation for special needs students, Dr. Cotton goes far beyond these requirements in her unmatched enthusiasm and “people first” approach. I am a veteran educator with over 30 years in the field, and I’ve rarely seen the authenticity, dedication, and advocacy for students' individual needs that Dr. Cotton consistently displays. I’m thrilled to recommend her to anyone seeking consultation and support from this talented and values-driven educator!"
—Dr. Lynn Wicker, Superintendent
"I was impressed with Dr. Cotton’s expertise with the laws pertaining to 504 status for a high school student getting ready to enter college. She was very professional, and yet she was very firm in what was going to be done. My daughter and I walked away from the meeting, knowing that it had been handled well and that my grandson would receive the services needed to finish high school strong and enter college. My name is Paula Seal, I am a retired elementary principal and I would highly recommend Dr. Cotton as someone who knows the processes and laws of 504’s as well as a woman of integrity and compassion."
