The SEPAC helps to guide the special education services provided to all eligible students in a school system. In Massachusetts, each school system is required by state law to have an SEPAC. The purpose of the SEPAC is to allow parents of students with disabilities the opportunity to talk about common areas of interest and to advise the school committee about the education and well-being of students with disabilities.
