WHAT IS THE SEPAC? Does your child have an IEP or 504 plan?  Are you interested in getting support services for your child? Then you need to know about the Newton Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) at NewtonSEPAC.org.

We are a volunteer organization of parents and guardians of children receiving special education services from preschool through high school. We run an online forum where families can ask each other about special education programs, issues, policies, and resources both within and outside of the public school system. We work directly with the school administration regarding our children’s special education through our school liaisons and meetings with the Assistant Superintendent of Students, Newton School Committee, and PTOC. We hold monthly board meetings that are open to all families and interested community members whose dates and Zoom links are listed on our website NewtonSEPAC.org under the “Meetings” tab. In the meantime, you can join our “Newton SEPAC” Google Group by clicking on the link on our website. On this online forum, you can post any questions or concerns about anything related to your child with special needs. We also use this group to publicize local/online presentations and conferences as well as DESE policy updates.
