Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC)

 The Shawsheen Technical High School Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is an all-volunteer organization of parents of children with disabilities who meet to learn more about Special Education. We host informational meetings and work with all stakeholders on pertinent issues that relate specifically to Special Education.

Purpose

 The purpose of the Shawsheen Technical High School Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC} is to provide information and support to parents of children with special needs. They will work to:

  • Advise the Director of Support Services and the School Committee on the operation and development of Special Education programs.

  • Establish better understanding and communication between parents/guardians and school officials.

  • Establish a network of support between parents with similar needs.

  • Promote communication and programs within the community and encourage understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of children with

    special needs.

  • Provide informational forums to parents, educators, students and professionals involved with children with special needs.

Membership

Membership is open to any resident of the Shawsheen Technical High School District of Bedford, Billerica, Burlington, Tewksbury, and Wilmington. Notice of the Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC} meetings is posted on the school website and through a school-wide email notification.
