The Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) provides parents and guardians the opportunity to share input and collaborate on special education programs and services within the district.
SEPAC aims to educate parents about available programs and services, empowering them to make recommendations to the district and supporting organizations such as the PTO. Meetings will include updates from the administration on current programs, guest speakers, and collaborative brainstorming sessions to explore new ideas and initiatives.
