SEPAC hosts a monthly meeting in
which committee reports are given, special education directors
share what is happening district-wide, and systemic issues are
discussed. SEPAC works on resolving issues that are systemic in nature.
While there is not a lot of time spent on individual issues
during meetings, it is good to bring individual issues forward
to SEPAC Executive members prior to the meeting. There
may be others who are experiencing the same difficulty, or it
may be an issue that others have experienced and there may be
supports or resources available. While agendas are set ahead of
time, there is time during the meeting to discuss new concerns.
Committees
SEPAC has committees that meet in between meetings and offer support to parents in particular areas, and to help SEPAC run smoothly. Current SEPAC committees include the Executive Committee, the Awards Committee, the Inclusion Committee, and the Craft Fair Committee.
