We are looking for parents of special education students to join our Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC). We are looking for representation from all buildings and grade levels. We are planning to hold our annual meeting on Thursday November 14th from 5pm-6:15pm. This meeting will be held at the Education Services Center. A light meal will be served.
What is SEAC?
SEAC is an acronym for Special Education Advisory Council, which is a group that provides input on special education issues to its local school district. Its purpose is to advise and advocate, not to decide policy. Minnesota law requires each school district in the state to have a SEAC although it does not specify how the groups should be organized or what duties they should perform. As a result, each SEAC may have a unique mission and structure.
Local SEACs advise school districts on the development of programs and services to meet the special education needs of children and families. By sharing their unique perspective of what it is like to use these services, parents can help the district be more effective. As a result, outcomes for children with disabilities should improve.
