What is SEPAC?

-
Since 1986, Massachusetts state law requires all public school districts to have a 
   Special Education Parent Advisory Council (
SEPAC).


- All families with a child on an IEP or with a 504 plan are members of SEPAC.

- SEPAC works with the Director of Student Services, School Committee, District
   Leadership, and teachers to advise and promote a successful educational
   environment for our children.


- SEPAC is dedicated to ensuring all children have equal access to educational
   opportunities in a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.


- Cohasset SEPAC sponsors a variety of meetings, events, and presentations
   throughout the year. All events are open to the public.


What is SPECIAL EDUCATION?

   curriculum


- Implemented for students with qualified identified disabilities

- Types of disabilities include health, developmental, physical, sensory, intellectual, 
   neurological, emotional, speech & communication, and specific learning

  public education” (FAPE) in the “least restrictive environment” (LRE)
