The Murray Parents Association – This is the parents’ group of the Murray Developmental Center in Centralia, IL. The Murray Parents Association has been frontline and brave fighters against the State’s planned closure of the Murray Developmental Center.  They have joined us and IL-ADD in our legal battle against closing State Operated Developmental Centers like theirs and ours.  The Murray group’s website is highly informative and current with a wealth of information about the current federal court case and related matters.

Special Thanks to the Murray Parents Association for providing many of the links on this page.  We encourage you to visit their website where you can obtain current information on the lawsuit and the parent association’s fight to keep Murray open.
