Special Education Family Engagement Events
Special Education Family Engagement events are planned throughout the school year for families of students with disabilities to connect with other families and resources, and learn additional ways to support their student for increased succes.
Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) Meetings
SEAC meetings are held monthly and are an opportunity for families of students in Special Education to engage with other parents, staff and interested community members. SEAC members provide input on special education issues to the Assistant Superintendent of Specialized Services. Attending meetings are a way to become more knowledgable about Special Education, develop relationships with Special Education staff, network with other families and make positive change for all students. Parents are encouraged to attend any time as a guest or to become a SEAC member.
