Bill > HB121

This bill mandates that every local school district establish a District Special Education Parent Advisory Council (DSEPAC) to advise on matters concerning the education and safety of students with disabilities. These councils will consist of up to 11 parents, with representation from each town in the district, selected through an open application process and serving two-year terms. The DSEPAC will meet at least quarterly with district administration to help plan, develop, and evaluate special education programs, provide input on district policies, and act as a resource for parents by sharing information about state and federal rights for students with disabilities. Additionally, the district must support the council with necessary resources and, in cooperation with the DSEPAC, host an annual workshop to inform parents about their rights and available resources. The DSEPAC will also submit an annual report to the school board summarizing its activities and concerns, which will be made public.
