Medfield Special Education Parent Advisory Council
Advancing the understanding, respect, and support for all children with special needs in the community.
Parent organizations often start from modest beginnings, but their impact can be profound. Today, families can have a greater impact on educational decisions for children with special needs by joining local Special Education Parent Advisory Councils (SEPACs). Your involvement can enhance your child's learning opportunities. By identifying issues, researching solutions, rallying support and developing strategies, we can collectively influence educational policy.
The purpose of the Medfield SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Council) is to work for the understanding of, respect for and support of, all children with special needs in the community. Pursuant to 603 CMR 28.07(4), the Medfield SEPAC shall:
Advise the school district on matters that pertain to the education and safety of students with disabilities and meet regularly with school officials to participate in the planning, development, and evaluation of the school district special education programs (Section 3 Chapter 71B).
Promote a network of parents of children with special needs and provide a forum to share information, and discuss matters of common concern and interest.
Promote communication among families with special needs students and the Medfield Public Schools.
Provide informational forums to parents, students, educators and other professionals involved with children with special needs.
Promote communications and programs within the community to encourage understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of children with special needs.
Communicate with local, state, and national organizations, as well as councils/groups that support children with special needs.
