Special Education Advisory Committee

What is SEAC?

Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) is an advisory board consisting of approximately twenty stakeholders that include a balance of parents, educators, administrators, students and representatives from community agencies who have been selected to serve in this important role. The goal of the SEAC is to advise, assist and support the district in its efforts to improve outcomes for all students with disabilities in the district. SEAC is an advisory committee. The District will continue to host learning and support events at regular intervals throughout the year as we have done previously. These events will be open to any and all interested families and staff members as they have been in the past, and will be advertised through the School Messenger system as well as on this webpage.
