Welcome to Our Parent Advisory Council
Our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) is an organization run by parents in conjunction with our Special Education staff. The PAC mission is to give emerging young adults with different learning styles and special needs a voice, engage with and support their parents, and nurture an environment of inclusion, respect, and appreciation.
Empowering Parents
We all learn and comprehend concepts differently, and some students may benefit from extra tools and strategies to assist with the challenges of the world ahead. We want to empower our parents by understanding special education regulations better and being aware of their rights and the services available to their families under the law. The PAC is here to advise on matters that pertain to the health, safety, and education of their young adult's special needs.
If you ever have questions or concerns, feel free to contact a member of our Special Education staff or a PAC board member. We are here to help you with questions, seek guidance, and foster involvement. All information shared will be kept confidential. We believe in working together to resolve issues and advocate for the students in the special needs community as a whole.
