What is a SE-PAC?

All school districts in Massachusetts are required by law to support the creation of a special education parent advisory council, or SE-PAC. SE-PACs are charged with advising the School Committee on matters related to special education, assisting in the evaluation of special education programs, and educating parents and guardians about the rights of their children under special education law.
