Meeting flyer and agenda 
Parents Rights in Special Education Presentation

Meeting notes for January 10, 2019

1) Challenges of increasing parent/ guardian involvement and participation in the SEPAC

2) Recruitment ideas

  • In addition to flyer to special ed. families and website posting send out a connect ed. phone call to all families.
  • Possibly create business cards that refer families to the SEPAC page on the website and to the pupil services office if they are interested in knowing more about the SEPAC
  • Add a text box under additional information about the SEPAC on all student IEPs  (for new IEPs and at the annual review/re-evaluation for present students)
  • Plan a family friendly event to promote participation in SEPAC. Group proposed family bowling at French King Bowling and Entertainment Center during February vacation week. Tentative date- Feb. 21- 3:00-5:00-bowling and pizza- maybe pursue funding through GMEF?   

3) Parents Rights presentation- see handout linked above

4)  Community resources- provide handout at all IEP meetings that includes contact info about SEPAC along with other resources in the area.

5) Next meeting date- Feb. 7, 4:00-5:00 pm at TFHS conference room

Respectfully submitted,

Dianne Ellis
Pupil Services Director
