Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC)

SEPAC is a family-led council created to support families of students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Our goal is to provide input to school leadership on matters affecting the education, safety, and well-being of students with disabilities. We also aim to foster a strong, collaborative partnership between families and school staff to help develop effective programs and services that meet the unique needs of our students.

We have scheduled our first two meetings and look forward to working together during our second meeting to identify additional topics of interest for the year.

Co-leaders Jill Conlon and Holly Witherell
