Special Education Advisory Council Invitation

Would You Like to Have More of a Voice in your Child’s Special Education Program?

The Special Education Advisory Council (SEAC) is a group of parents and professionals working together toward making special education in District 241 the best that it can be.  We need input from parents of students of all ages and disabilities.  Local SEAC’s advise school districts on the development of programs and services to meet the special education needs of students and their families.

One of our SEAC goals has always been to help parents in our district become more informed and involved in their children’s education.  We have materials to help.

            BINDERS:  For those students and families initially determined as eligible for special education
                        services—these binders include IEP information, a glossary and other resources

            TRANSITION GUIDES:  “From Here to Next Year”, a guide to be given to families in the year
                        before a student transitions to kindergarten, grade 6 and grade 8.
