Welcome to NYCASE!
NYCASE Mission Statement
The New York Council of Special Education Administrators (NYCASE) is a professional organization that provides leadership and support to members by advocating on the shaping of policies and practices which impact the quality of special education services for students with disabilities. NYCASE will participate actively in the improvement of special education programs in the State of New York.
Dear Members,
In an effort to support our membership NYCASE continues to post the most recent Federal and State updates to Special Education and Section 504 on our website. We are also continuing to provide a series of virtual update professional development opportunities throughout the year. It is our desire that the NYCASE website be your single point of entry to access updates and resources without having to scroll through an endless sea of e-mails. Now that we have transitioned to our new website, we have migrated some of these content areas to the "Member's Only" section. This will allow us to focus our efforts on the members of our organization and to continue to provide the high quality supports that our membership has come to rely on.
Be sure to join us at the Marriott Downtown in Syracuse N.Y for the July 2026 annual conference. Registration is Open!
Dr. Rae Lynn Helman and Dr. Selena Fischer
NYCASE Co-Presidents

Member Spotlight 
We are honored to recognize
Dr. Angela White
Director of the Teachers of Color (TOC-II) program and an Adjunct Professor of Special Education at Pace University
NYCASE Board Member and Co-Chair of the Technology and Communications Committee
Recently Dr. White was honored by the Ossining UFSD Board of Education. In February she was presented with the Hester Bateman Spencer Hines Distinguished Lifetime Achievement Award. The award is in honor of her achievements, contributions and dedication to the Ossining Community. We congratulate Dr. Angela White!
With a distinguished career spanning 42 years in P-12 education, she retired as the Superintendent of Schools at the Biondi Education Center @ Rising Ground, an NYSED approved Special Education Program. Under her leadership, the Center implemented a values-driven, student-centered, trauma-informed approach to service delivery, ensuring comprehensive support for students with disabilities from Pre-K through 12th grade. Dr. White began her career as a Reading Specialist in the NYC Board of Education and went on to hold key leadership positions, including Director of Funded Programs, Assistant to the Superintendent, and Elementary Principal, all in service of students with disabilities. Prior to her tenure as Superintendent, she served as Principal of Brookside School and Assistant Superintendent of the Ossining Union Free School District.
Dr White's work and perspective demonstrates the fundamental tenets of the New York Council of Administrators of Special Education organization. We are proud to recognize her here and have her as a member of NYCASE.
