Meetings

Newton SEPAC holds a variety of meetings, gatherings, and educational opportunities throughout the school year.  All public events are open to anyone interested in special education. Discussion topics relate to supporting parents and caretakers of students receiving special education services in Newton, providing feedback to and gathering updates from the Newton Public Schools’ Student Services administration, advising the district and School Committee on key issues, and maintaining the Newton SEPAC as a strong volunteer-based organization.

generally occur monthly, and are an opportunity for the board to share community feedback with administrators and to discuss districtwide issues related to special education.
