Our Purpose

Special Education Parent Advisory Groups are required for all school districts in New Jersey. The purpose of these groups is to provide opportunities for parents and community members to offer input to their districts on critical issues relating to students with disabilities.

New Jersey Administrative Code 6A:14-1.2(h) states: 

"Each district board of education shall ensure that a special education parent advisory group is in place in the district to provide input to the district on issues concerning students with disabilities."  

Our Mission and Goals

The mission of the Manasquan SEPAG is to work for the understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with special needs within our community. SEPAG aims to:

• Promote a network for parents of children with special needs in our district and provide a safe forum to share information.

• Offer informational meetings on topics of interest to families of students who receive special education and/or educational support services.

• Encourage and support an educational environment where children with special needs have equal access to educational opportunities, and a school/community environment where all children are motivated to reach their full potential.
