Mission & Goals

The Mission of the Nashoba SEPAC is to advocate for the understanding of, the respect for, and the support of all children with special needs in the NRSD community. 

To that end, the SEPAC will: 

• Work with the District, including, but not limited to, the Director of Pupil and Personnel Services, the Superintendent of Schools, and School Committee, to review, evaluate and recommend policies, procedures, training needs and resources related to services and programs for students with disabilities. 

• Promote a support network for parents of children with special needs, and provide the forum to share knowledge. 

• Provide informational workshops open to parents, educators, and all other interested parties to increase awareness of issues and best practices pertaining to students with disabilities. 

• Promote communication and programs within the district schools and communities to encourage understanding, acceptance, and inclusion by collaborating with PTO/PAC groups, School Councils, and other school organizations.
