Mission
The Allendale Special Education Parents Advisory Committee (Allendale SEPAC) provides advice and input to the District on Special Services.
The SEPAC works towards gaining the respect, support, and appropriate education for all children with special needs in our District and to ensure that students' needs under N.J.A.C. 6A:14, Section 504, I.D.E.A and other applicable laws are being met.
Goals
Our Goal is to establish a productive partnership between Allendale District and the SEPAC so that:
Parent Feedback and input on Special Services, including I&RS, Remedial programs, 504 and IEP services and parent education is constructively received and acted upon.
The SEPAC serves as a resource to the the District for planning, development and evaluation of Special Services.
