Special Education Parent ADvisory Council (SEPAC)

The Special Education Parent Advisory Council is a district-wide organization created by parents to support the emotional, social and academic well-being of children in the Glen Rock school district with special needs. 

SEPAC provides an opportunity for Parents and the Glen Rock Board of Education to work collaboratively on issues relevant to the  Special Education population and their families. 

We provide information, educational opportunities, resources, and support to families and professionals striving to achieve the maximum benefit for all children in our community. 

• To enhance the family-school partnership in Special Education and to facilitate access to services.
• To facilitate active participation and acceptance of all children in the community.
• To educate, support and mentor parents as they advocate for their child's Special Education needs.
• To provide opportunities for families to support each other and share information.  

• SEPAC conducts three District-wide meetings per year
• The goal is to have school-specific SEPAC groups and meetings as well in order to provide support and talk about issues that are specific to the individual schools within Glen Rock. 

Kristine Gifford (kristinefgifford@gmail.com) and Nicole Redmond (njrred@optonline.net) are the district-wide coordinators for SEPAC. Feel free to contact them for more information.
