Our Mission:
To support, educate, and assist parents to fully understand and effectively participate in the Special Education process;
To develop community support and services necessary for our children to become successful learners in the Duxbury Public Schools; and
To ensure understanding, respect, support and the appropriate education for all children in our community.
Board Priorities for the 2022-2023 School Year
We have two main priorities for this upcoming year that we view as foundational to more effective SEPAC engagement and advocacy:
Objective 1: Grow a thriving, informed, and trusted parent community
What this looks like:
Regularly-held, supportive, and educational meetings that are safe, confidential, and effective at building a community and identifying themes across disabilities, schools, and needs among the parents and students in Duxbury
Empower Duxbury parents by sharing information through our Google group, website, and revamped social media, and holding at least 2 educational events
Build subcommittees (by disability type or issue groups) to grow SEPAC presence and help other parents do similarly by providing a roadmap; for this year our aim is to start with one subcommittee
Objective 2: Grow SEPAC’s voice and participation in relevant venues across the Duxbury community
What this looks like:
SEPAC is regularly attending and participating in school meetings, school open houses, and committee meetings and events to provide an inclusive perspective and represent the needs of special ed families in Duxbury
Contribute to governance efforts in Duxbury that affect special ed families around such topics as safety, diversity, equity and inclusion
Better understand the breadth of input SEPAC could plug into over the year on related efforts such as principal hiring and curriculum efforts, and determine appropriate engagement model
Connect with other regional SEPACs and grow our network on the South Shore
