Community Advisory Committee

  • Our Community Advisory Committee (CAC) is a team of parents and individuals with a personal or professional interest in securing appropriate services for students with special needs. The CAC membership represents the geographic, ethnic, and socioeconomic makeup of the community it serves.

    Our CAC focus is involving interested parents, students, teachers, education specialists and consultants in establishing a networking system between the school and the community.
