Lynnfield SEPAC

(Special Education Parent Advisory Council)

We work for the understanding, respect and support of all students with special needs in Lynnfield.

What is the Lynnfield SEPAC?

The SEPAC is an advisory committee to the Lynnfield school district and the Special Services department.

The Lynnfield SEPAC is managed by volunteer parents and guardians of special needs students residing in Lynnfield.

We operate like a town-wide PTO for special education families, servicing both in-district and out of district placements.

We host speakers and workshops of interest to all families in Lynnfield.

Find us on Facebook at Lynnfield SEPAC for information on town and local workshops and other articles of interest.

The SEPAC is mandated and supported by Massachusetts law.

How can the SEPAC help you?

We understand the challenges of raising children with special needs. You are not alone!

We help families more effectively partake in the special education process by hosting informative events and speakers.

We provide networking opportunities for you to meet other parents in town.
