Why do we have a SEPAC?

The purpose of our SEPAC (Special Education Parent Advisory Council) is to promote awareness of special education services, to be a source of information and support for families whose children receive special education services, and to work with the district regarding meeting the needs of these students.

The SEPAC also:

- provides direct input to the local school district about policies, programs, practices, and

services that have an impact on students with disabilities and their families. 

- works for understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with disabilities or

other special needs in the community.

- builds a support network of parents of children with disabilities and/or special needs and

provides forums to share information with this group.

- promotes communication between SEPAC members, local, state and national

organizations, councils, and groups.

- facilitates communication and programs within the community to encourage

understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of children with disabilities.

- provides educational and informational forums to parents, educators, students, and

professionals.
