What student groups does SEPAC represent?

SEPAC doesn't represent any single student group. The target of 
SEPAC is the familes of students that are receiving special 
services in the district.  This may include students on IEP's, 
IFSP's, 504 plans, ESL services, as well as any others that may 
fall under special services.

Is SEPAC a support group?

SEPAC is not a support group, it is an parent advocacy group for 
the New Prague Area special services students, to advise and 
recommend effective and responsible education services, to 
provide a vision for the future, to advocate for programs and 
system change, and to represent the voice of our community 
regarding students with disabilities.

Are support groups part of SEPAC?

One of the visions that is held by SEPAC is the creation of 
support groups for particular areas of need.  Part of this 
process is identifying interest levels in different areas, 
coordinating setting up the support groups meeting time and 
place, and communicating this to other support group members.  If 
you are interested in being part of a support group or helping 
to start a support group, please let a committee member know.

Can I be a member?

All parents, educators, and others interested in students with 
disabilities and/or receiving special services through the New 
Prague Area Schools are invited to take part in SEPAC meetings.  
There are different levels of commitment, while some members 
choose to made aware of upcoming meetings and attend meetings 
with agenda that is of particular interest to them, others 
choose to take more of a leadership role, making themselves more 
available as a contact person to other new members and interested 
parties and serving as officers on the committee.
