Revere Special Education Parent Advisory Council - S.E.P.A.C.
What is SEPAC?
The Parent Advisory Councils is a requirement of the current Chapter 766 Massachusetts Special Education Regulations; each school district is required to have a Parent Advisory Council. We are a system-wide organization of parents/guardians, teachers, and administrators working in partnership to promote an innovative educational environment where children with disabilities have equal access to educational opportunities and that our schools are safe, nurturing, challenging learning environments for all children. This organization provides access to relevant resources laws, regulations, and activities that impact special education in this community and across the state.
