SEAC helps our six member districts and the TRIO Wolf Creek charter school to meet the needs of students with disabilities. SEAC achieves this by improving communication and supporting parent/guardian involvement in special education decision making.
Parent/Guardian SEAC Meetings
SEAC meetings are:
- Two hours long
- Scheduled in the evenings (childcare is provided)
- At least three times per year — Fall 🍁, Winter ☃️, and Spring 🌱
Parents/guardians who represent children with a variety of disabilities meet and are joined by our special education administrators (including our Director of Special Education).
Join SEAC! 🙌
Please complete this parent/guardian interest form. Teachers/educators can also use this nomination form to nominate parents/guardians who may be interested.
Teacher Meetings
A representative group of special education teachers from across our member districts meets with SCRED administrators (including our Director of Special Education) as a Special Education Advisory group. These meetings occur more frequently than our parent/guardian SEAC meetings.
