Please respond! The Annual SEPAC Survey Supports Change
As a parent or caregiver of a student(s) with additional support needs, please share your experiences in APS (regardless of whether or not your student has an IEP or 504). In our role as advisor to the School Committee on policies related to Special Education, the SEPAC survey is a critical tool for supporting improvement.
