PASE is Bellefonte School District’s Special education family support group committing to fostering partnerships between families, students, and the district in the community with other families on their special education journey. Together, we seek to provide support to each other, develop skills in advocacy, build trust and care for our children, collaborate with school leadership, and cultivate a community that cares and is committed to our children’s flourishing. PASE seeks to be a support community for families throughout the BASD in which we offer support, guidance, mentorship, community, and training.
In 2024, a core group of parents and caregivers of students with special needs worked with special education administrators to form PASE, a family support organization that will strengthen trust, partnership, and advocacy between families and the Bellefonte Area School District for the benefit of students receiving special education services.
