Letter from Burr's SEPAC liaison
Belatedly, I wanted to reach out and introduce myself as the Burr School Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) Liaison. For those who may be unfamiliar with Newton SEPAC, our charge is to advise the school district on the education and safety of students with disabilities. Monthly, we host educational programs (e.g., Basic Rights in Special Education), and open board meetings where one can learn more about our organization, share suggestions, and ask questions. Please visit: https://newtonpac.org/meetings/ for the dates of the programs and meetings. I will share the program topics here as they're announced.
This year at Burr, I look forward to increasing awareness about Newton SEPAC's work and programs, strengthen the Burr special education community for parents and children, and serve as a resource to Burr families. For more information on special education resources in Newton and MA, please see the letter I wrote recently to parents of children on IEPs and 504 plans that I wanted to share more broadly here, too.
Looking forward to a great school year. Please reach out anytime with thoughts/questions!
Warmly, Eliza Spaulding
2019-2020 Burr School SEPAC Liaison
