SEPAC Information

The Burlington Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is a parent volunteer community that fosters connection, support and education for the parents and caregivers of children with disabilities.  Every district within Massachusetts is required by state law to establish a SEPAC.  The law that governs this organization requires that we fulfill both an advisory and participatory role working with the school district and community.  In an effort to do this, we fulfill a variety of crucial roles that include, but are not limited to, acting as liaison between parents and school district administration, advising the school district on the unique needs and perspectives of the special education community and providing parents with resources and support in navigating the world of special education.  It is our goal to prioritize and protect the equal opportunities of the special needs population in all arenas of our schools and community. Joining SEPAC provides parents with a supportive network of individuals with a shared experience. We work together to be a positive voice for special education within our community. https://burlingtonsepac.org/ burlingtonsepac@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/burlingtonsepac/ https://www.facebook.com/burlingtonsepac
