Do you have a child who receives special education and/or related services through the Springfield Public Schools (this includes students with out-of-district placements)?
If you answered yes then you are eligible to be a member of our district SEPAG.
What is SEPAG: A Special Education Parent Advisory Group that is a state-mandated, district-level, parent-driven group charged with providing input to the local school district on system-level challenges in special education and related services.
Some of the topics that Springfield Public Schools SEPAG meetings will include:
-
Updates on local and state-wide special education policies.
-
Speaker nights- where we will invite local speakers to talk about topics that are relevant to special education.
-
An opportunity to bring up questions and concerns regarding Springfield Public Schools special services.
